Yoga for Teenagers (11 – 13 years)
“Let go and develop physical awareness”.As a teenager you go through one of the most exciting times of your life, maybe it’s even the best one. You experience big changes on many different levels – physical, mental and emotional. However, this phase can be demanding as there is a lot to learn and achieve, many plans and choices to make, homework to do, etc. All this can cause stress and insecurity. Yoga for Teenagers gives you a break in the week where you can be physically active in a fun way, where nothing is expected of you, and you can just relax and let go. Practising yoga can be an enormous support during this period.

What does a class look like?
A teenager yoga class consists of a warming up, yoga postures (asanas), relaxation exercises, guided meditation and visualisations. The yoga postures strengthen the muscles, thereby developing power and improving fitness as well as increasing flexibility and promoting relaxation. You will get more in touch with your body, which will increase your self-esteem and allow you to feel happy in your own skin. By giving attention to the breath, you can let go of the thoughts swimming around in your head, enabling you to feel calm and relaxed so that you can handle your emotions in a better way.
