Empowering Youth Through Yoga & Mindfulness
WHY CHOOSE THIS speciality TRAINING?
Teen years are a whirlwind of change—physically, emotionally, and mentally. It’s a time of growth, discovery, and, sometimes, struggle. Yoga and mindfulness offer a powerful way to navigate this journey, providing teens with the tools they need to build resilience, confidence, and emotional well-being.
This training course equips you with the knowledge and skills to introduce yoga and mindfulness to teenagers in an engaging, age-appropriate way. Through a dynamic mix of theory, interactive exercises, and experiential learning, you'll develop practical strategies to make yoga and mindfulness relevant to their daily lives.
Teens deserve wellness tools they can use beyond the mat—strategies to help them manage school stress, pressure, and overwhelming emotions. You'll learn how to guide them in breathwork, meditation, movement, and reflective practices that foster self-awareness and inner stability.
With anxiety and depression on the rise, the ability to self-regulate and manage emotions is more crucial than ever. Encouraging teens to connect with a place of stillness each day helps cultivate peace and resilience—offering a refuge amidst life’s challenges.
Be a lighthouse for teens: someone who radiates authenticity, kindness, and humour. Show up for them with creativity, curiosity, and warmth, providing a safe space where they can unplug, relax, play, and connect.
Join this training and become a guide for young minds, offering them a lifelong foundation of strength and balance.

Meeting with Karen and attending her trainings has been a beautiful experience. Karen has a passion for teaching yoga to kids and teens as well as sharing her knowledge with aspiring teachers. She is incredibly generous and full of enthusiasm and truly inspired me to feel confident enough to begin my own classes. I always felt yoga would help teens and thanks to Karen I now have a better sense of how to connect them in ‘teen friendly’ ways to such a rich practice. I am also so grateful to know I can always come back to her for any advice and support. Thank you Karen!

The yoga for teens training was beyond all my expectations and delivered in a thorough and extremely comprehensive information, encompassing all aspects of teenage physical, emotional and mental well being. Backed up by integrated practical fun activities and anecdotes from a wealth of experience from the teacher. For a real insight to the area I would highly recommend Karen's training program which thoroughly prepares you for teaching teens.
