Lighting the torch of mindfulness in the hearts of youth through yoga and meditation is one of the most powerful and empowering ways to shape our world. That’s why our Yoga Garden Teens® Teacher Training is for parents, yoga teachers, school teachers, educators or those working with youth 12 to 18 years old.

Participants acquire the tools to help teens deepen self-awareness and well-being through yoga and mindfulness. Participants explore a personal meditation practice while in training to develop the ability to authentically share mindfulness with youth. Yoga Garden Teens® is a unique program that will prepare you to teach yoga to youth and will cover topics such as working with trauma, at-risk youth and teen pregnancy.

The Folk Teens® Teacher Training was built on the philosophy that teenagers learn best when offered a safe space to speak their truth and find their quiet center in both body and mind. The program focuses on deepening a personal mindfulness practice, bringing yoga to teens in their own words and understanding the neuroscience of adolescent development. This training prepares students to become youth yoga teachers by giving them the tools to understand teens, to communicate with them, to craft unique mindfulness exercises and safe yoga sequences and to launch a sustainable career.
