Description
Yoga Class In Pretty Talk (All Ages)
This is a trauma-informed yoga and mindfulness class designed exclusively for adolescent girls. More than just stretching, this weekly session provides a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space for girls to explore the vital connection between their minds and bodies, and develop real-world tools for emotional resilience.
The curriculum is focused on empowering participants to navigate the unique mental and emotional challenges of the teen years, including stress, anxiety, self-doubt, and the pressures of school and social media.
What We Focus On:
• Mindful Movement (Asana): Gentle and accessible yoga postures designed to help reduce physical tension often held in the body due to stress. We focus on listening to the body, increasing self-awareness, and celebrating strength, rather than achieving "perfect" poses.
• Stress Reduction Techniques (Pranayama): Learning simple but powerful breathing exercises that can be used anywhere (in the classroom, before a test, or during a difficult conversation) to instantly calm the nervous system and manage panic or anxiety.
• Body Positivity & Self-Acceptance: Practices that foster a positive relationship with one's body, moving the focus from external appearance to internal strength, sensation, and gratitude.
• Mindfulness & Meditation: Guided practices to anchor awareness in the present moment, helping to interrupt cycles of worry, rumination, and negative self-talk.
• "Mat Chats" & Community: Each session includes a brief, facilitated group check-in or discussion on a relevant mental wellness theme (e.g., boundaries, self-compassion, managing social anxiety). This builds a sense of belonging and reminds girls they are not alone.
Key Benefits:
• Cultivate greater emotional regulation and coping skills.
• Reduce feelings of stress and anxiety.
• Improve focus and concentration for schoolwork.
• Boost self-esteem and internal confidence.
• Develop a peaceful, non-judgmental relationship with their physical body.
No prior yoga experience is necessary. This class is for every girl, at every experience level. Come as you are, and bring an open heart.
Note: This class is therapeutic in nature but is not a substitute for clinical mental health therapy. For girls needing one-on-one support for severe or persistent mental health challenges, we recommend consulting a licensed mental health professional.
