  • Tools and techniques for teaching yoga postures, breathing exercises and mindfulness practices to tweens and teens including discussing intersections and research of mindfulness, yoga, the changing teenage body and related neuroscience, explicit and implicit bias, inclusion, equity, diversity, and race;​
  • Specific practices for empowering tweens/teens to cope with common stressors and transitions, including depression and anxiety, 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

  • A weekend of transformational demonstrations, discussions and activities with your friends, colleagues, and Yogiños Leaders;

  • Yogiños: Yoga for Youth® Curriculum eManual, A to Z Bilingual eBook of Poses, Tweens and Teens 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 techniques to empower audiences to respond mindfully rather than react irrationally
