Synopsis

Yoga provides not only an excellent, low-impact workout, it also helps young people in key areas such as body awareness, flexibility, concentration, stress reduction, and self-expression. The exercises and games in this easy-to-follow guide are specifically designed to fit the needs of teenagers and to show teens how to work out and train their bodies in a relaxed way. It requires no advance knowledge or preparation and can be used by anyone working with teens between the ages of 10 and 20. The exercises are divided into static postures, dynamic postures, and exercises in pairs. There are also visualization and meditation exercises based on the four elements of nature as well as an introduction to the basics of yoga philosophy. The book can be used with large and small groups or as part of a parent-teen activity. Practicing yoga together is a perfect opportunity for parents and teens to exercise, talk, and spend time together in a healthy, positive manner.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This clearly written and accessible guide is a wonderful introduction to yoga for teens, their parents and their teachers. Perfect for anyone who works with children aged 13-18, it provides activities for groups and individuals that stimulate the mind, increase stamina and restore calm. Divided into sections, the book groups the exercises by sitting, standing and movement poses, by content (breathing, stretching or visualisation) and by requirements (a mat, an outdoor space, physical contact). Helpful icons designate when an activity is intended for partners or when they are for a single person. Clear illustrations throughout the book demonstrate the poses and special sections of tips for teachers and a study on the mental and physical benefits of yoga for teens are also included. Easy to read and easier to use, this book will help you and your teen begin a lifelong practice that nourishes the mind and the body.
