Mindful Teens

This camp will be teaching teens:

How to use breath practices to manage stress.
A form of meditation called Yoga Nidra that guides you into a deep restful and restorative state.
That we can use movement and sound vibration to shift our mental/emotional state.
How our minds work and how to manage them.
A healthy relationship with food.
The importance of living in rhythm with nature by prioritizing sleep and practicing daily rituals.

Several things that we will do:

Yoga Nidra

This is a form of meditation that invites you to lay down, rest your body, quiet your mind, and receive the healing benefits of deep relaxation. This is the perfect contrast to the busy lives of most teens. We will practice this at the end of every session.
Nature

Nature is healing and when you reconnect to her rhythms, you will feel more grounded and at ease. We will learn about and integrate how to create daily rituals that will help us to align with these rhythms.
Nourishment

Consider what you consume through all of your sense organs, what you eat, watch, listen to, smell, and touch. All of these will impact your energy. You are the filter that gets to decide whether what you consume is nourishing to your well-being or not. We will discuss and experiment with the impact of screens, social media, music, news, and food on our energy.
