MINDFULNESS FOR TEENS
AGES 13-18
TEENS are dealing with becoming their own person, belonging, and for the first time taking responsibility and making decisions that impact their future. Our school education as comprehensive and studious as it may be does not always provide for that which would give kids what they need to powerfully deal with such an important transition in their lives.
Our classes are primarily geared towards practicing self-awareness, emotional intelligence, emotional regulation, finding balance and building self-esteem, such that the kids leave empowered and confident in dealing with their lives and making important decisions that honor who they are.
Teenage years are demanding years due to stress from school, exams, pier pressure and also figuring our who we are and what our role is. Mindfulness can be a life giving gift in such a major threshold into healthy adulthood.
