Christy answers these intriguing questions:
1. How is teaching yoga to teenagers different from teaching kids or adults?
2. What is it about teenagers that makes them ideally suited to discovering yoga?
3. A lot of people are leary of teaching teens – why do you think that is so and how would you convince them otherwise?
4. In the past five years have you noticed a change in the number of teens interested in yoga or who have already tried yoga?
5. Teens often become very clicky – you have the jocks, the nerds, the slackers, the rebels – how can yoga meet the needs of these various groups and bridge their differences?
6. During the teen years we often contemplate the big questions in life “who am I” “why am I here” – how can yoga help teens address these questions?
7. What is the greatest contribution yoga can make to a teenagers life?
