YOGA FOR TEENAGERS & ADOLESCENTS
MOVING THE BODY, MIND AND SOUL
for lifelong balance, confidence and resilience
A HOLISTIC APPROACH
To teenage well-being
Adolescence is a time of rapid change - physically, emotionally, and socially. Yoga offers a safe, empowering, and age-appropriate way for teenagers to build resilience, reduce stress, and explore who they are in a supportive environment.
At Cardamom Coaching, I offer school-based and community yoga sessions rooted in ancient wisdom, brain-based research, and a deep understanding of adolescent development.
These sessions balance movement, breath, mindfulness, and play - designed to meet young people exactly where they are.


WHAT I OFFER
Age appropriate classes
Classroom Well-being
Chair-based yoga, mindfulness moments, breathwork and digital wellness breaks to refresh, refocus, and reduce classroom tension.
Integrated P.E. Sessions
Dynamic 45–60 minute yoga lessons within the physical education curriculum to improve mobility, strength, and focus.
Extra-Curricular Clubs
Morning or after-school yoga clubs to boost physical vitality and mental clarity - ideal for teens who need a non-competitive space to move and reset.
Constructive Alternatives
Yoga as an alternative to detentions or time-outs, offering a calm space for self-reflection, regulation, and restoration.
Enrichment Day Programmes
Whole-day workshops blending yoga, creativity, and well-being for a fully immersive experience that fosters connection and joy.
Community Events
Engaging yoga sessions for school fetes, family days, and fundraisers—fun, inclusive, and community-building.
HOW I TEACH
Empowering, Age-Appropriate Yoga
Teaching yoga to young people is not the same as teaching adults. Their bodies, brains, and behaviours require adapted, safe, and engaging approaches:
​
-
Sessions are developmentally tailored, with modified poses, shorter holds, and simplified anatomy cues.
-
Emphasis on protecting joints, building proprioception, and developing healthy movement patterns.
-
Classes include games, partner work, stories, discussions, essential oils, music, and drawing to foster participation and self-expression.
-
Props (blocks, blankets, straps) make postures more accessible and safe.
-
Gentle assists and clear boundaries support classroom safety and respect.
