Teaching Teens Yoga

Empower, Inspire & Connect with Teenagers Through Yoga

Teaching teens is unlike instructing any other age group. They’re not kids and not yet adults—they still love to play but don’t want to be treated like children. They crave approval but will test boundaries to establish independence.

This specialized online course is designed to give you insightful, practical, and time-tested tools to support teen mental, emotional, physical, and social well-being through yoga. Whether you're a yoga teacher, educator, healthcare professional, coach, or parent, this training will equip you with effective techniques to help teens manage stress, build resilience, and develop lifelong wellness habits.

Prerequisite: A regular personal yoga practice and a passion for working with youth.

✅ A deep understanding of how to teach yoga and mindfulness to teenagers
✅ Practical strategies to help teens cope with stress, anxiety, and emotional challenges
