Teen Yoga
The popularity of yoga is growing and it is not hard to see why.
Sporty students do yoga to develop performance in their chosen game.
Non sporty people like it because it is a non-competitive way to keep active.
Boys practise it to increase stamina, strength and confidence in relation to their bodies as they grow and change.
Girls enjoy relaxation and flexibility exercises which promote emotional and physical wellbeing.
A yoga practice that develops memory and concentration, body awareness, and balance control, and includes deep relaxation can only be good for everyone.
The well documented benefits of yoga are:
• Develops strength, flexibility and stamina
• Reduces tension, stress and anxiety
• Raises self esteem and promotes self-efficacy
• Improves motivation
• Develops clarity, focus and concentration
• Creates awareness of emotional responses
• Encourages self-management of behaviour
• Promotes social, mental and emotional health
