The classes are safe and fun & all yoga is taught in the Iyengar way, which is extremely safe and precise. In this way they learn how to develop a yoga practice themselves and they learn about discipline & commitment.
With yoga they are learning a skill for life...something they can practice all the way to old age.
The health benefits of yoga are endless...but for teens most importantly, it supports this stage of growth. It helps with posture, preventing future problems with knees, backs etc. It balances the hormonal system, helping with mood swings & coping with different emotions. It makes the mind become alert and strong, helping with decision making, studying. It brings about self awareness, as the students become more in tune about what is good or bad for them. It will help them physically, by developing strength & flexibility. If they are already active in sports, yoga will help to reduce injuries and improve performance. Through Meditation and breathing techniques the students learn to cope better with stress and disturbed emotions.
You can expect lots of group and partner work ...which helps build confidence, trust, friendship & because its just more Fun!

The course focuses on learning ways to manage anxiety and stress and how to cope with changing moods & emotions. Students usually find that they have more concentration in class, that they can cope with their study load easier and that they generally feel more upbeat, motivated and calm.
Because there are lots of partner and group activities, class bonding issues can often be resolved after the course too!
