Teen mental Health is in crisis. Even before the Pandemic, teens mental health was on a precipitous decline fostered by increasing social pressures, social media, increasing academic and sports pressures, as well as declining sleep and nutritional habits. The Pandemic and the subsequent stressors only served to accelerate this decline, ultimately leading to the US Surgeon Generals declaring teen mental health a national emergency in December 2021. Between 2009-2021 rates of depression in teenagers rose from 26% to 44% and emergency room visits for self-harm jumped by a shocking 88%.  The pandemic accelerated this decline with a 45% increase in self-harm and suicide cases in the first half of 2021 alone!

This one-day workshop is for anyone wanting to help during this crisis: yoga teachers, educators, parents, grandparents and mental health professionals. We will combine the practical emotional self-regulating tools from yoga and link them to the strong scientific support and latest research showing their effectiveness at helping the unique teenage brain, physiology and nervous system reset. Yoga tools to include simple postures, breath practices and guided mediations and imagery will be taught. Additionally, we will learn how to teach teenagers about the chakras as well as the Yamas and Niyamas as energetic tools of self-regulation.
