FLYoga forTeens
Adolescence is one of the most challenging, exciting, and complicated periods in a child’s development. The challenges they encounter during this period may well be carried into their adult life, but inversely, the skills and tools they acquire during that period can do the same.
One important problem that often gets overlooked at this age is a lack of physical activity; The child sits at their desk at school, then comes home and sits down to do their homework. Sometimes on the sofa or half-lying on the bed, the child sits and splays down in front of the computer, TV or mobile phone. Over time this leads to bad posture, curvature of the spine, and muscle weakness. This creates a basis for health problems, already starting in the early stages of puberty.
Physical activity and movement are necessary at this age to create a healthy foundation on which to build, and FLYoga Teens is the perfect activity for adolescents at this age!
FLYoga Teens combines yoga exercises that activate and balance the body with hammock exercises that turn the activity into unique aerial fun! In the FLYoga Teens classes, teens receive tools and habits that build correct posture and help maintain a healthy back. All this, along with a sense of balance and peace that will accompany them as they continue their transition to a healthy, more grown-up life.
