Teen Yoga is the leading global charity in the field of yoga for young people

Jess’ classes have helped me to deal with stress in a better way. Stress from exams, school, family and friends, and one that I struggle the most with is stress of the unknown. The main things I’ve learned are how to relax properly, how stress works and how to counter it.

Yoga should be integrated into schools. Young people need to learn calm and how to pause. The Teen Yoga Foundation is doing an excellent job bringing this to young people across the world.

Each yoga session made me feel relaxed and calm, helping me to focus on flexibility, accuracy and balance. I was excited for every session I took part in and would recommend them to everyone.

I’ve been taught how to control my body’s reactions to things.

Yoga is a great way to stay active, focus the mind and manage stress. It’s a practice that can benefit people of all ages and Backgrounds, and I’ve seen how it can especially help young people build confidence and self-awareness.

Brilliant work with my child. I was surprised how she took on board controlled breathing and continues to use it at home

Most successful intervention so far – very motivating due to the small group dynamics and shared experiences

Would 100% recommend for a child with ADHD to help control their emotions

I would not be where I am without Bernadette’s help. She is one of the many reasons I made it to my 16th birthday

My son has told me what he is feeling and where – he’s never done this before

My daughter was able to remove herself from an overwhelming situation and manage her emotions

Before yoga, my child would hit out and shout. Now they take themselves away to calm down

I would highly recommend this course. It has exceeded all my expectations and I have not only learnt an incredible amount over the past five days but connected with an amazing group of people and shall take this knowledge forward to help others

I am very supportive of the Teen Yoga Foundation, it is important to look after your health and connect with others and they are the leaders in this field.

I respond better to situations – before I used to react.

I have new ways to stop the swirling in my tummy

My son now has emotional regulation tools that work – he can do so much more

When I think of how complex the issues were when I started working with [child], and where he is now, I’m really impressed with his progress. Yoga has been a significant part of him learning crucial new skills. Thank you!

I suspected CBT would again lead us to a stuck point. Having a yoga practitioner on the team provided an excellent opportunity for him to work through his physical experience of anxiety. It’s clear he had a significant breakthrough in how he relates to and manages his anxiety

Before I had never done yoga in my life. I wasn’t sure if I’d enjoy it and I wasn’t sure how quickly I could learn. Not only did I love the sessions I took part in, but also I learned that it is OK if you get it wrong. Yoga helped me to find a moment of peace in a busy school day and I’m very thankful for it.

The life of a teenager, be that in school or outside of it, is filled with stresses, pressures and tensions. Yoga classes on a Wednesday afternoon helped me find a moment of calm. The dual satisfaction of physical movement and mental relaxation was a tonic for the stresses I felt mid-week.

I wouldn’t hesitate to sign up. I spent ages trying to fit my life around getting to the face to face training and I now believe this was by far the better option for me. I never imagined I’d have the level of access to Charlotte and her team to the extent that we have. Other yoga teachers should take note! 

I just wanted to take this opportunity also to thank you for putting together such an amazing course. I have thoroughly enjoyed the course and feel I have learnt so so much! You have a fantastic team of people supporting you but the love, care and dedication you put into this course shines through. Thank you so much for sharing all of this with us.

This week has been a truly fantastic experience! Meeting Charlotta who is lovely and has the most incredible wealth of knowledge and experience has been great. Also spending time with a beautiful group of people made this course one of the best courses I have attended. Thank you!

My back feels loads better after doing yoga!

A very enlightening, thorough courses that has given me a deep insight into what needs to be considered when teaching yogas to adolescents. I would highly recommend this to anyone thinking about working with teenagers.

I took part in the 6th form Yoga PE sessions last year and I found them very enjoyable. I became more confident to try new skills in front of people. I found the sessions interesting and calming and loved trying new things in a supportive environment. Every p[art was always a joy to learn about.

This course has given me the tools, the ideas, the community and the knowledge to confidently teach yoga to young people. Charlotta was friendly, knowledgeable, patient and informative and delivered some lovely yoga classes too!

A great reflective and informative course, giving a real insight into the teenage brain and how to adapt classes to best meet the needs of our young people.

 Thank you Teen Yoga, I feel I will be a different teacher now I have completed this course. I had a very different image in my head about how I would teach and this image has been turned upside down. On reflection I will be more in tune with teens having spent the last 4 modules getting to know their psyche, this deep level of understanding has enabled me to be more empathetic. The last module has prepared me to have confidence in getting teen yoga out into the community as I believe in everything I have learnt over the last 3 months. The professionalism is 5 star, dealing with an organisation that has different teachers, and a variety of research material. I will be re listening to all the modules again as they are fascinating.

Charlotta’s knowledge and drive are both amazing and really inspiring. Excellent course. I’m leaving really inspired and motivated to take teaching teens forward. The work that Charlotta is doing is incredible.

Charlotta embodies everything she teaches. As a result I have felt like a sponge trying to soak up as much information as possible. Truly inspiring.
This has been such a useful and inspirational experience. To be surrounded by a group of people who all want to help inspire the wellbeing of young people. I have learnt a lot about the science and psychology of the teenage brain but also learnt a lot about myself and where I would like to take this in the future.

This course shone a light, a floodlight, on my 30 years teaching teens in schools.

School has noticed a big change – she now helps other pupils with breathing practices

I have been loving the yoga sessions! After a long and tiring day when |I’m nopt feeling so great, doing some yoga is so lovely and beneficial. From the sessions I feel more connected to my breath, body and myslef, and it is so lovely breathing in the slef-love that I need. I hope that many more teenagers practice yoga becuase it truly helps youa long your path and it is there for you whenever you need it.

Surpassed expectations. Really inspired me to further research and deepen my knowledge. Exceptional mentors guiding with great compassion and vast experience.

 The course is well designed, thought provoking and informative. It provides all the basic scientific and philosophical information needed to begin to teach yoga for Teens. It provides practical help and ongoing support, in order to encourage students to go out and start teaching classes. I would highly recommend the course and I was surprised by some of the benefits of completing an online course rather than an in person training

I love this course. I feel there is so much amazing work to do to help teens in their lives, through Yoga. I would not have imagined how much depth you could go into, like we have. I love how this course is presented and broken down into the various sections. The kindness, warmth and welcoming from everyone involved is just beautiful, and I would recommend this course to anyone that is thinking of doing Teen Yoga. Thank you for enriching my life through your wonderful work. I hope I can reciprocate this with some teens when I start teaching.

I am very supportive of the Teen Yoga Foundation, it is important to look after your health and connect with others and they are the leaders in this field.

As a parent of teens, I found the course illuminating. Especially, the neuro-development and how yoga can support young peoples mental and physical overall well-being, which feels particularly relevant, in this time of covid. Charlotta shares her knowledge and experience with inspirational passion and clarity. The course is challenging but accessible. I would highly recommend this course to everyone interested in yoga and the well-being of teens.

A comprehensive grounding in how to teach teens. A superb course!

This course is mind-blowing fabulous by its complete, practical and relevant content, its masterful delivery (with a combination of asynchronous and synchronous learning), and its constant engagement with thought-provoking questions and deep digging learning with like-minded peers. I have participated in many yoga trainings over the years and, without hesitation, this is by far the most exciting, in-depth, impactful training I have ever done!

Excellent course! Highly recommend! I have learnt more over the last few months than what I learnt on my 500 hour Diploma Yoga Course.

Wow – this course was so comprehensive! I’ve learnt far more than I ever expected to, and the quality of the content, reading materials and contributors has been so impressive. I feel I’m leaving the course with a much deeper understanding, not just of yoga and its benefits, philosophy and origins, but also of young people.
It has added real armour to my already impassioned elevator pitch on why yoga is such a brilliant practice for people of all ages. What an incredible course. Thank you!

Excellent course – I’ve really enjoyed learning from the tutors, online materials, recommended books, and of course, all the (international!) group members. There is a lot to take in, but all the areas covered have been relevant and provided a deeper understanding and awareness for teaching Teens. I look forward to putting this into practice. Thank you, Teen Yoga!

Yoga should be integrated into schools. Young people need to learn calm and how to pause. The Teen Yoga Foundation is doing an excellent job bringing this to young people across the world.

I have been working with these guys since years now! With lots of hard work and Thank you for this course, it was been so in-depth and more than I imagined. Its been the best thing I have decided to do this year!

Great course!! I love that it is down to earth yet deep, scientific yet very practical. A lot more interactive than I expected. It definitely inspired me to start teaching yoga to teens, and to incorporate new insights into my adult classes as well.
I would fully recommend this course and I’d be happy to join follow-up workshops or courses.

The course has exceeded my high expectations and I am so grateful for having done it! Thank you Charlotta for creating this timely online training (although I probably would have jumped on a plane to take it in person had I known how incredible it is!)
You are a pioneer in this field and I am so fortunate to have found your training and to learn directly from you.

 This course seemed to happen at the perfect time for me. It has provided me with motivation and inspiration for an age group I am passionate about. The course structure is very well thought out, and the information real, relevant and up to date. The mode of delivery is also excellent with the combination of self paced online work, combined with group work with establishing networks and sharing of ideas from all corners of the globe, to webinars, and one on one tutorials. This caters for all needs and learning styles whilst most importantly delivering on connection with likeminded people. At times it did feel a bit hectic keeping on top of the learning program, but it is an intensive course so developing the discipline to give the course the focus it deserves for me was also an added learning component. Thank you it has been a wonderful learning journey and I look forward to sharing many more opportunities to discuss yoga and teens.
