ENRICH THE LIVES OF ADOLESCENTS WITH YOGA
Mental health issues in adolescents are an escalating national crisis and unmanaged stress is linked to a variety of adolescent challenges, specifically depression and anxiety.
Research performed by Kripalu, in conjunction with Brigham & Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School, reveals that yoga can be a profound vehicle for cultivating adolescents’ stress resilience, self-acceptance, and their ability to self-regulate. Learning these skills and tools is critical for this generation’s well-being and future.
This on campus training is:
- A scientifically validated yoga curriculum that is endorsed by CASEL (Collaborative for Academic, Social and Emotional Learning, 2013 Guide)
- Led by faculty with 40+ years combined experience pioneering the Yoga in Schools movement
- An outline of developmentally appropriate lesson plans featuring the introduction of postures, breathing and relaxation techniques, and key yoga concepts
- An exploration of the teen experience through role-playing, discussion, and lectures on adolescent development
- An opportunity for collaborative learning and breakouts to hone your skills in the classroom or on the yoga mat
- Practical guidance, skills and tools to help you successfully implement this program in your own community
This training is ideal for:
- People who work with adolescents in schools, nonprofits, after-school programs, community centers, yoga studios, and other organizations serving teens
