Teen Yoga

Béa is a specialist teacher of yoga and mindfulness for teens (11-21 years) and a Level 3 Sports Coach (Sport England), trained by Charlotta Martinus and the Teen Yoga Foundation.

Sessions are specifically designed with adolescent development in mind, with the aim of supporting physical and emotional health, releasing tension, promoting a sense of calm and relaxation and building confidence.

I currently offer a weekly public/community Teen Yoga session for young women 12-18yrs (or 11yrs and in school year 7):
For young women who would like to have space to pause, breathe, rest and reset at the end of the week. This is a relaxed and small class, welcoming both those with yoga experience and those who are completely new to yoga. You'll be guided and encouraged to find the movements which feel right for you and your body on any given day (which may be different week to week).

I would describe these sessions as "come as you are and take what you need"... we usually begin with a mindful practice or breath-centred exercise, along with some gentle movement for the body to begin to release tension. And the kettle is always on for tea! A variety of practices during the sessions allows students to find those which feel most relevant to them in order to build their own wellbeing 'toolkits'.

Also available:
  • Private 1:1 or small group sessions by arrangement
  • Secondary (11-18+ years) enrichment sessions, PE and wellbeing workshops
Yoga offers an inclusive and non-competitive environment in which teenagers can:
  • Improve balance, co-ordination, strength and focus
  • Deepen their understanding of how they experience stress, using this to release physical and mental tension
  • Learn tools for self-expression that support communication, connection and confidence
  • Access techniques for self-regulation and find a deeper awareness of the changes experienced in their bodies
  • Develop positive attitudes towards wellbeing, physical activity, self-care and relaxation
  • Show respect for themselves, others and the world around them
  • Connect with others of a similar age
