Yoga for teens
Adolescence can be a very confusing and emotional time. Yoga is a wonderful antidote to boost self-esteem, self acceptance and balance hormones.
Classes include partner work to encourage, team work, meditation to calm the mind and relaxation to allow body and mind to let go.

The sessions contributed to the school's provision of a variety of activities appealing to different tastes, ages and abilities, one of the criteria for gaining Healthy School Status"
