Mental Wellness for Young People

A Weekend of Yoga and Wellness FOR Kids and Teens

This training will help young people embrace yoga and mindfulness exercises that promote lifetime wellness. We aim to make yoga available and accessible in all schools so that everyone in the educational setting can develop body-mind awareness. Our emphasis will be on helping kids, pre-teens and teens with the tools to navigate this difficult time of life, giving them he ability to nurture their own mental wellness, and overall well-being.

This three-day training will provide young people with the tools and information they need to help them live healthier, happier lives.
