Yoga for Tweens & Teens
“The point we emphasize is strong confidence in our original nature”
-Shunryu Suzuki
Budding Buddhas offers tween and teen boys and girls an opportunity to strengthen body, mind and spirit into a unified whole.
The turbulent tweens and teens are a perfect time for the refinement and overall sense of self that yoga provides, and our programs are designed to help students maximize these benefits. By harnessing youthful energy and encouraging each student’s uniqueness, Budding Buddhas instructors promote individuality and socialization.
Through discussion and yoga practice, groups explore themes such as compassion, self-respect and healthy living.
We will integrate mindfulness techniques, stretching and challenging poses while teaching them how to take their yoga practice off the mat and into their every day lives.

Yoga and Creative Expression
(Ages 8-11)
"Your journal, like your mat, is your refuge, a place where you can let your guard down, discover who you really are, and celebrate that discovery."
-Bruce Black (author of Writing Yoga)
Budding Buddhas treats preteens to a mind/body combo of yoga and expressive writing, collage and drawing.
During each session, students alternate between yoga poses and their journals, in a rewarding interactive experience of self-awareness, positivity and fun.
Themes and writing prompts such as confidence, inner beauty and joy offer structure, while allowing for endless possibilities to emerge.
Yoga and creative expression offers a double opportunity to learn about yourself and share with others on the same path!
