Yoga for Tweens & Teens is so much more than exercise. From shyness to independence to finding their voices, life is not always easy. In this series, we’ll explore how to build confidence and self esteem. Yoga gives us tools to help focus, slow down and balance the good with the bad in a healthy way. Girls will form friendships, bond with one another and most of all, HAVE FUN!

Despite what some may think, Yoga is not just for girls. There’s a reason that major sports teams and athletes, such as The New York Giants and Philadelphia Eagles, are incorporating Yoga into their traditionally rigorous training regimens. Did you know that Shaquille O’Neal, former NBA player, turned to Yoga as a way to help preserve his body for his career?

Yoga helps develop body awareness, increase flexibility, build muscle, feel part of a healthy, non competitive group, build self esteem, manage stress and increase concentration and focus. All of these benefits have the capability to flow into our boys’ every day lives, both in the classroom and at home.

This BOYoga Series is created specifically for boys to come to a judgment free class, learn to increase flexibility and muscle in both mind and body, which will help in other sports and areas of life.

This series is a great opportunity for those that are new to yoga or those just wanting a slow gentle flow. In this series we will take our time flowing through basic poses and learning properalignment. We will slow it down in a simple yet fun way that will help you to begin or enhance your yoga journey.

This class will run as a series beginning on 6/29 and ending 8/3.

Build strength and stability, deepen your connection with your little one, and relish in community support! Each class includes postures that bring balance and alignment to your pelvis, pelvic floor, and uterine ligaments--encouraging your baby into a more optimal birthing position so that you may have a more functional birth. In addition, yoga asana is also used to safely explore strong sensation and offer opportunities to discover and integrate coping and pain management tools such as breathwork and mantra. Throughout class easily digestible bits of childbirth education are integrated into practice, empowering parents to continuously learn about pregnancy and early parenthood. This class is appropriate for any trimester.
