YOUTH :  
The Bringers of Light & Creativity

Picture
Yoga and youth are a great match.  Not only do the youth  represent the dreams and hopes of the future, they also recognize the problems that adults overlook, and they have the ability to create solutions that have never been explored.  And as the youth grow and mature, they have the ability to become amazing, responsible leaders and loving, compassionate adults in their families and communities.


Everytime I have the opportunity to work with youth, I embrace it!... learning so much from their questions, how they relate and communicate with each other, how they express their curiosity, their interests, the difficulties that they are facing, their perspective on local and world events, and who they are and hope to become.


I believe that Yoga is a gift that can support the lives of young people - both kids and teens.  Yoga can teach them to think independently and with neutrality rather than to go with the  crowd or the mainstream.  Yoga can teach one how to find and experience inner balance rather than living extremes of too much or too little.  It can build strength and confidence in the young minds and bodies of the youth who will eventually need to independently navigate through the world.  Many people travel their whole lives seeking deeper meaning in life, asking the question "what is the purpose of all this?"..."what is the meaning of life?"....and "who am I, really?"..... Yoga offers a personal, experiential answer to these questions and can provide meaning and direction for the youth who have just embarked on their own walk in life.  ~ Sat-Akal

10-SESSION PROGRAM
IMAGINE THIS.   The Kids and Teens in your school are exposed to the fundamental principles of yoga - balancing mind, body, and spirit - through the guidance of a dedicated and experienced teacher.  

In 10 Sessions (1x/ week -or- 2x/week), the youth will be exposed to the 8 main principles of yoga through their own practice.  They will gain a new language and basic tools to implement into their own lives while interacting in the classroom, at home, and into the world;  They will create strength in their bodies, posture, words, and mindset;  They will learn how to discern information and to make better choices;  They will develop a better sense of themselves which will help them gain confidence, self-love, and compassion; Their creativity and self-expression will be supported; They will learn new ways of being that will support them as they grow up to be responsible adults in their community.

5 main goals we strive for when working with youth:
1. Support the youth's overall personal and spiritual growth that is age and ability relevant
2. Support youth to express their Sat Nam (truth) through yoga, creative expression, and in conscious dialogue
3. Create and maintain a space that is safe and nurturing for all
4. Share aspects of the 8 Limbs of Yoga within all teaching work in a way that is comprehensible and relatable
5. Create an enthusiastic and fun space for learning
