Teen Yoga

Led by Vanessa Spini, RYT* 200, YES** Facilitator

Over the years of sharing yoga with my community, I have heard the same statement many times: "I wish I had something like these classes when I was a teenager!"  

I feel the same! Breath-focused moving and breathing practices are scientifically proven to reduce anxiety and stress. These tools are important at any age, but with burn-out and anxiety amongst teens at an all time high, the need for effective stress management is more important than ever. In this summer program, over 8 weeks, teens learn a simple effective practice of yoga poses synchronized with calm breathing for peace of mind. They will then be able to carry this practice with them for the rest of their life.

"The success of yoga does not lie in the ability to perform postures but in how it positively changes our life and our relationships."

-- TKV Desikachar

The 8-week program, developed primarily by teachers at the Heart of Yoga Foundation, has been delivered to young people around the world with outstanding results: Students reporting significant improvements in mental wellbeing and happiness.

For this summer program there are two enrollment options.  Minimum enrollment is 5 students, if this minimum is not met, you will receive a full refund of your tuition payment. 

• Enroll for 1 class per week -- Tuesdays 1130am-1230pm -- $80
• Add 2nd class per week -- Thursdays 1130am-1230pm -- $40 ($120 total for 2 classes/week)

Classes begin Tuesday, June 24th and our final class will be August 12th (Tuesday) or 14th (Thursday). Students are welcome to arrive up to 15 minutes before class begins to get settled and ready. 

Each week we will be covering new material during the Tuesday class.  We will discuss and practice the concepts and have time for questions. The Thursday class will be a chance to review and clarify what was covered, as well as being another chance to practice with the support of the group. Home practice will be strongly encouraged, and in fact, is necessary in order to get the most benefit!

All classes are held at the Gold Beach Wellness Center. We are in the big silver building across the street from the High School. Our entrance is at the back (east side) through doors to Head Start and then upstairs. 

Please do not hesitate to contact me, Vanessa, with any questions.
