A Safe-Space for Self-Discovery

Being a young adult today is more challenging than ever. Social media, peer pressure, bullying, and academic expectations all exist against the backdrop of a post-pandemic world that can often seem scary and confusing. Too often, our youth are combating feelings of stress, anxiety, disconnectedness, low self-esteem, and more. 

Join yoga and wellness educator, and creator of Deep Play for Kids and Deep Play for All, Missy Brown, for an active and experiential program that offers teens foundational tools and opportunities for growth with a strong sense of self, acceptance, and community that will last a lifetime.  

Your teen will have the opportunity to:

• Build community through enlightening experiences.
• Explore space for self-discovery utilizing fun and introspective activities.
• Journal and enjoy guided relaxation to build self-awareness and emotional regulation skills.
• Practice yoga ‘off-the-mat’ and learn that it's so much more than just a physical activity.
• Participate in nurturing and empowering share circles to enhance mindful communication skills.

Every aspect of this program will be offered within the softness of a safe, sacred space. Each teen will be given the freedom to be their most authentic self, celebrated for exactly who they are. Being at Kripalu with your child creates a foundation for exploring health and wellness together.
