Principles and Practicalities of Teaching Teenagers: Webinar Dec. 6

November 18, 2012 By 4 Comments
  • How is teaching teenagers different than adults?
  • As a yoga teacher, how do I orient my classes to accommodate the teen perspective ?
  • Are there guidelines that will help me to facilitate dynamic and rewarding yoga classes for teens?

In my “Teaching Teenagers Yoga Webinar ” on December 6 hosted by Yoga in My School I will color in the answers to these questions in great detail.  Participants will be empowered by the information and will find their teen yoga classrooms transformed for the better.

If you are hoping to get teenagers more engaged and connected with the practice of yoga, this webinar is for you.

If you hadn’t considered reaching out to teens, not only will you be motivated to do so from this webinar, but you will be armed with the right preparatory tools.

I will lead participants through a set of principles and practicalities of handling teen yoga classrooms that can be applied to any teen teaching situation.  Lots of pictures from my teen yoga experiences will illustrate my advice in the powerpoint format presented.  Come learn with me and share in the abounding passion for yoga and teens.

A webinar is an interactive conference or online workshop made possible by today’s internet technology.   What a wonderful thing that we can connect powerfully through an hour out of our day (in lieu of traveling miles by airplane for a training).   I’m delighted to be able to share in a live format and connect to real people like you who are interested in improving teens’ lives.

Sign ups will be taken at  Yoga in My School webinar page.  Stay tuned via YogaMinded facebook page or YogaMinded website.

No longer children and not yet adults, teenagers test the boundaries of who they are, at times perceiving the world with adult-like acuity and other times retreating to childlike ways.

We believe that yoga can help teenagers in the journey of self-discovery, both showing them how to make wise, healthy choices and by building a foundation of inner strength.  Furthermore, yoga for teenagers makes physical activity and taking care of their bodies both fun and interesting.

From March 16 – 18th, YogaMinded will be leading a weekend training at Childlight Yoga Studio in Dover, NH aimed to serve yoga teachers, parents and yoga practitioners who seek to teach teens.  We will share Yoga 4 Teens techniques developed in her 14 years working with this age group and will also work with individuals present to refine their classroom approach.  

“We are thrilled to host this relevant, informative training here on the Seacoast for a second year,” says Lisa Flynn, Owner/Director of ChildLight Yoga. “Christy is a dynamic teacher with a keen understanding of the unique needs of teens. Our instructors have learned a great deal from her and we looking forward to sharing this training with the community.

Go ahead, sign up. Make a difference. And tell a friend. They, too, will be thankful for a lifetime.
