Yoga Benefits for Teens
This training offers insights into the teen mind and gives you a solid foundation of knowledge, tools and confidence to share. These tools can be taken directly off the mat and applied into the daily lives of teens to support them to manage stress, anger, depression, anxiety and other common challenges. You will be able to help teens to navigate the challenging transition to adulthood by showing them sustainable coping mechanisms through yoga. It is essential to recognise the importance of building emotional resilience, mental health and wellbeing.
If you are drawn to sharing skills with teens to cultivate inner and outer harmony on their journey of self–exploration into adult life, then I hope you can join me. This training may be the beginning of your own unique and fulfilling journey of facilitating yoga for teens.

"Karen is an absolute joy as both person and teacher, and her passion for guiding and supporting teens - and empowering others to do the same - is an inspiration. Karen lead her trainees on a journey, making them feel supported at each step of the way. The trainees themselves were humbled by the transformative nature of the workshop, which held a mirror to Karen's facilitation style - grounded in empathy, creativity and reflexivity - and empowered all involved to use highly these highly impactful skills and knowledge to hold space for teens as they transition through important life stages."

"I enjoyed every moment in Karen's workshop: lecturing, demonstrating, practising partner/group asanas and most importantly group work and teaching REAL teens in groups. I was amazed at what I am capable of. I'm proud of the step I took even though there're rooms for improvement. Karen is a well prepared teacher. I like the workshop materials she created and supplementary materials she has been sharing before, during and even after the workshop. She's a great facilitator too. I appreciate the fact that she has created an online platform for continuous connection and sharing. I joined the workshop alone and end up connecting with like-minded souls. The content is absolutely helpful. It is extensive and easily comprehensible and I strongly believe that it'll help me share with teens yoga and mindfulness confidently, enabling the tool for balancing their bodies and minds."
