Teen Yoga is a hands-on practical course to teach you how to teach Teens in a school or outside environment. The program will be offered from February 2-6, 2014 in the Sivananda Yoga Retreat in Nassau, Bahamas. The course is designed to build your confidence and fill the gaps of knowledge, looking at the infinite and classic wisdom of the Vedantic system of yoga for inspiration and blending it with present research and science to give us a full picture of how best to approach this population with the healing science of yoga. At the end of this course you will feel completely confident to run a course at a school, either intra-curricula or ex-curricula. The course has been developed in the UK.
The main thrust of the Yoga course is to show how you can apply yoga to the Teen population and to empower the teacher to deliver yoga in the most relevant way possible building on their (the teachers) own personal practise and experience. It is not a formulaic system to be copied and emulated but rather a wealth of information to top up and confirm your own innate wisdom and draw to this age group.
The course is unique as it is completely focused on the very specific issues that face the teen population, with practical demonstrations and exercises as well as expert lectures on the latest research in this field. The teacher of the course is currently working with this group on a daily basis and has done so for many years. The goal of the course is to provide a tool box of information, background, structure and ethical advice and give confidence to the student to approach and teach teens in high schools and elsewhere.
The motivation for developing this course, is the heartfelt belief that yoga and meditation should form part of the school curriculum in order to raise self-efficacy in the young adult and encourage positive mental health. As anxiety and depression cause approximately 80% of diseases in the West today, we could be saving our health service a great deal of money (
