Yoga for Teens

Over the past year or so NAMASTE has taken on a whole new audience, Elementary School Kids. Various schools all over the nation have implemented Yoga in place of their detentions and other school activities.

So what is the craze about.....Both CNN and Upworthy.com featured articles on The Benefits of Yoga in Schools. According to both sources, Yoga in Schools promotes mindfulness and decreases suspension and detention rates.

But of course these opportunities have only been noted on the Elementary Level Schools. Not to mention many workplaces for adult incorporate a Yoga Program for employees. So if Yoga works for Small Kids and Adults, why not Teens?!?!?

Well we have found this wonderful website called Wanderlust for you to try with your teen. I'm sure it will feel silly at first but anything that promotes, mindfulmness, confidenience and control is worth a shot right?
