secondary focus
Inspirational Classes - our experience is teaching teen yoga and mindfulness in an interesting, engaging and relevant way, so we will provide you with heaps of ideas and content but we will also teach you classes that you can take home and teach. The focus is on the most important themes for teens of self-calm, self-belief, self-care, positivity, strength and connection.
Neurodiverse Children - These practices are great for all young people, including those needing particular attention to reassuring the nervous system and sensory systems. There are many studies which show how proprioceptive exercise like yoga, breathwork and mindfulness can really help stabalise and calm young adults on the spectrum.
Getting Started - Learn what it takes to start your own business, and how to do it, from the ZenMuma/ Kids/ Teens consultants who have been running successful complementary health businesses, yoga centres and retreats for over 10 years. If you are already in a school, social or educational framework then you can get started straight away!
Anatomy and Physiology – teaching a safe class. Written by our inspirational and experienced Occupational Therapist who specialises in providing OT to schools, we look at the basic safe teaching needed from a body awareness perspective. Covering the muscular and skeletal body, core strength, core motor skills and featuring yoga asana to assist the teen body in its natural development. We also study basic physiology, systems of the body and offer helpful poses and postures to promote great health.
Yoga philosophy, lifestyle, ethics and making your classes relevant to our generation z – exploring the Yogic values of peace, truth, honesty, liberation, contentment, willpower, insight, resilience and compassion. With teen yoga we use inspirational quotes, poetry, music, physics and philosophy to ask the big questions and provide meaningful discussion and interesting self-study. We then put it all into a yoga practise with purpose.
