Yoga for Teenagers — Strong Body, Strong Mind

enrolling now for Term 1 2025 — starts February 10

WHY IT MATTERS

The world is getting progressively harder to comprehend, find one’s place in, and navigate with a peaceful mind, sense of groundedness and calmness. Our children and younger adults are, perhaps, some of the most vulnerable categories and the ones who suffer most from this complexity, saturation with all things right and wrong, and the lack of true connection.

More and more children and younger adults are being labelled and diagnosed with all kinds of mental and emotional imbalances but not much seems to be done to create an environment that cultivates the opposite.

If you have been practicing for a while, you are likely reaping the benefits of this vast tradition of mind-body practices that is yoga, and do know from experience that yoga essentially is a practice of knowing and accepting oneself deeply. You would also agree that when practiced regularly, it does help to manage and see oneself and life through a clearer lens.

Most yoga that is offered for younger people is presented in the form of an acrobatic activity and general movement. This is good when the goal is to move the body, get fit or have a good time. However, the essence of what yoga is and the countless benefits it offers for a lifetime are being overlooked. 

COURSE CONTENT

This yoga course will focus on both the body and the mind.

It will give an insight into the asana practice - students will build stronger bodies and learn to balance between strength and flexibility. We will build the physical yoga practice from the ground up, just like we do in our Beginner Yoga Course.

It will also focus on looking into the nature of the mind — the one thing that is the root cause of all our hardships. It will show how the physical yoga practice can help develop the ability to maintain a calmer state of mind and regulate the nervous system, and will teach additional tools that help with cultivating mental and emotional resilience and a balanced state of mind.

In the course, we will:

  • Build the foundation for asana practice

  • Learn about how and why asana works and is different to other forms of physical activity

  • Look into the importance and benefits of breathing: in asana practice and beyond 

  • Learn the tools for regulating the nervous system on and off the mat

  • Gain insight into the origins of yoga and scripture applicable to our day-to-day lives and to developing better sensibility and sense of connection

  • Provide a space to explore, grow, and feel more confident in oneself

WHO IS IT FOR

This course is for Year 7 - Year 12 students, who are curious about developing a stronger body, a stronger mind and exploring the relationship between the two. Whether one is looking for tools to manage the stress of exams, friendships, or feel more balanced in the face of the ups and downs of teenage life, this program offers practical skills one can use every day.
