"Young Yogis Mindful Advetnures", "Tween Yoga" and "Teen Flow" classes take on a deeper dedication to exploring mindfulness and what this current "buzz" word means to our young people today! Each session consists of an 8-week series of classes which encourages practice each week and each class is led by a Registered Children's Yoga Teacher.
Each class begins with a moment of arrival and awareness to leave the day "behind" and become present in the class setting. This moment of arrival is followed by a series of yoga movements/games and closing includes a time of relaxation. The lessons are designed to develop self-regulation skills, strengthen the ability to sustain attention, enhance compassion toward themselves and others, & much more. Children are encouraged to discover the ability to anchor themselves when things seem out of control, practicing the skills that are helpful in reducing anxiety and stress. Through movements, stillness, stories, and games, the children mindfully explore their inner and outer worlds, while cultivating beneficial life skills!
Classes are held in welcoming and comfortable settings, in local yoga studios in the Fort Mill SC area, with small numbers in attendance. Classes focus on building a solid social-emotional foundation. Sessions include lessons on Self-management (self-regulation, self-awareness, body awareness, Coping strategies (maintain emotional balance), Resiliency (perseverance, growth mindset), Compassion for self and others (kindness practices), Attention/focus skills (managing our busy minds, staying in the zone), and Listening to the body's signals (recharging their bodies and minds).
All of the Movement, Mindfulness and Me classes are designed to encourage children to "tune in" to their Inner "Cheerleader" and less to their Inner "Critic"!
