Aside from its many physical benefits, Yoga can aid relaxation, improve focus and concentration, aid sleep, reduce anxiety and promote confidence .””

With so many changes in the adolescent body, it’s important to have specialist Teen Yoga teachers. All Teen Yoga Foundation teachers are DBS checked, and have relevant first aid and safeguarding certificates.
““Young people are faced with a very serious situation today which the adults in their world are finding hard to deal with and which will impact their entire lives. TeenYoga teachers are specifically trained to deliver wellbeing strategies to young people facing difficulties, these strategies support the young person and those around them – both parents and peers. They are evidence based and long lasting. Never before has this been as necessary as it is today, when depression and anxiety are widespread and young people are facing such an uncertain future. The way they respond to this crisis will shape the rest of their lives. Let us act now and create resilient and confident young people in the face of this tremendous adversity.””
