The intention for sharing mindfulness with Teens and Young Adults is to help them learn to destress, find balance, and to understand/apply/ integrate mindfulness skills into their daily lives for present and long term health benefits.
Meditation Classes are created specifically for Teens and Young Adults. Why is a class better than just using an App? Please visit the "Teen Page" for additional information and common questions.

Tween girls may find mindfulness training easier to access through yoga classes. They can stretch, strengthen, balance, and de-stress as they learn and practice yoga & mindfulness. Brief "Mat Chats" may be included to introduce mindfulness lessons (flexible thinking, self-compassion, self-esteem, managing emotions, etc.). Yoga classes promote a supportive environment for them to learn these valuable skills.
Tween boys may be motivated to learn the mindfulness techniques that many professional athletes use to settle nerves, manage thoughts, and build resiliency. They could explore and learn through yoga, movement games, focus activities, and age appropriate mindfulness practices. These skills may support them in their teenage years and beyond.
Restorative Yoga Classes provide a unique opportunity to heal and balance our body systems, while settling our mind and nourishing our soul. Mindfulness and guided meditation will help to anchor your mind and bring ease to your body, as you release more deeply into each pose.
Restorative Yoga activates our parasympathetic nervous system to promote deep relaxation. Chairs, blankets, blocks, eye pillows, bolsters, straps, and/or sand bags may be used to help support, stretch, and relax the body in each pose.

Classes provide opportunities to gather each week, in community, to cultivate your personal mindfulness practice. Each session includes seated stretch & breath practice to help settle our body and anchor our mind; an intention to guide and inspire us; and a gentle meditation. Take time to pause throughout your week, unplug, and integrate these practices into your daily routine to promote healthy habits and overall well-being.

Restorative Yoga can feel like you escaped to a nourishing retreat for your mind, body, and spirit; however, an untrained mind can make this experience more challenging and it deters many people from giving Restorative Yoga a try at all.

It's challenging to stay committed to your mindfulness practice....we get bored, frustrated, forgetful, busy, or distracted.
