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, and individual sessions, are created specifically for Teens and Young Adults and may be offered in-person or virtually.
Why is a live class or private session better than just using an App?
See the "Teen Page" for the answer to this question and to other common questions.

Kids can learn and explore their world from the inside-out with Yoga & Mindfulness games, activities, and practices, in addition to specific evidence-based occupational therapy techniques, to help them manage big feelings, focus their attention, and stay balanced each day.
Kids learn these important skills, in a fun and inviting way with Kid Therapy's "Therapeutic Inner Explorer Program."

Many tween girls first experience mindfulness in their yoga classes. They stretch, strengthen, balance, and de-stress while moving through yoga flows that help them connect with their body.
Brief "Mat Chats" introduce mindfulness lessons (flexible thinking, self-compassion, self-esteem, managing emotions, etc.). Girls also learn how to apply these skills in their daily environment to build resiliency and to better navigate the common challenges faced in the life of a tween girl.
Individual sessions and Yoga classes provide a supportive environment for tweens to learn these valuable skills.

Tween boys learn the mindfulness techniques that many professional athletes use to settle nerves, manage thoughts, and build resiliency. They explore and learn through yoga, movement games, focus activities, and age appropriate mindfulness practices.
Boys also learn how to apply these skills in their daily environment to better navigate the common challenges faced in the life of a tween boy.
These skills 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.

REGISTER: www.ezentialwellness.com
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.

Want to try Restorative Yoga, but you struggle with an active mind?
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.

Our thoughts often fuel our pain, which creates tension in our body and consequently keeps us stuck and suffering.
