Teen Yoga Series with Liz Doyle

Oct 12 - Nov 9, 2008
Yoga for Teens!
Strength, balance and power!

Course Description:
Our teen yoga class is a guided flow of Asanas (poses) in combination with breath work and deep concentration. During this process, teens often develop a clearer attention, better body awareness and a greater sense of self-confidence. By discovering the inner resources within, teens are more equipped to deal with the dynamic & challenging experiences of daily life.

One of the noticeable benefits of this practice is the overall well being of physical health. In particular, yoga can be a great support for the maturation of the inner organs and stretching will also reduce common growing pains. Adolescents begin to feel more comfortable within their own skin as they develop physical strength, endurance, and flexibility. This vigorous routine provides teenagers with an alternative way to redirect their spurts of energy and offers them a healthy and challenging way to experiment, to push boundaries and thus gain a sense of achievement.

This series is for 11yrs - 18yrs. No prior yoga experience or athletic experience is required to participate! Pre-registration is required.
