Yoga for Tweens and Teens

• Tools and techniques for teaching yoga postures, breathing exercises & mindfulness practices to tweens and teens
• Specific practices for empowering tweens/teens to cope with common stressors and transitions, including test anxiety, body image, pressure from friends and family, career planning, and goal setting
• In-depth exploration of functional anatomy, the benefits of yoga postures and practices, and how to safely sequence postures
• How to adapt yoga classes for studios, schools, workshops, and camps
• A weekend of transformational demonstrations, discussions and activities with your friends, colleagues, and Yogiños Leaders;
• Interactive experiences facilitating and demonstrating team-building, cooperation and tolerance;
• Information about starting your own youth yoga business;
• Yogiños: Yoga for Youth® Curriculum eManual, A to Z Bilingual eBook of Poses, Module 5 eManual, support to complete your Yogiños: Yoga for Youth® certification.

As a result of this program, we believe participants will be able to:

• Conceive, design and teach age-appropriate theme-based tween and teen yoga classes
• Practice and teach all 8 Limbs of Yoga, including poses (asana) and breathing (pranayama)
• Understand and use age-appropriate and safe forms of yoga, including games and related activities, to engage youth physically, emotionally, and mentally
• Modify lessons for various audiences and age groups
• Learn, practice and weave multiple intelligences and tween/teen-based developmental theories into your yoga classes
• Use yoga for kids as a means to teach tools and technqiues to empower audiences to respond mindfully rather than react irrationally
