Teens experience some unique forms of stress but it's possible to relax and feel ones best even when times get stressful. This class will teach how to navigate the stress of being a teen with ease by cultivating mindfulness. Mindfulness is more than simply paying attention. It’s a state of being from which we can access a sense of wholeness and deep wisdom. In this four week class we will explore:
• What is mindfulness and how does it help?
• Four different types of meditation
• Mindful movement
• New coping strategies for managing stress.
• Fun interactive group activities.
• How to bring mindfulness into daily life, including communication, relationships, athletics, eating and school.
