Feeling stressed, overwhelmed or caught in your thoughts?

Being a teenager is exciting, but it can also come with a lot of pressure—from school and friendships to social media, and everything in between. Through yoga, mindfulness, discussion, and reflection, students will build a foundation of evidence-based skills they can use to navigate stress and everyday challenges with greater awareness and self-compassion.

What Will We Explore?

Each week introduces a new topic designed to help students understand themselves and their experiences from a fresh perspective. Topics will include:

• Yoga & Mindfulness — Learn what these practices are and how they can help when life feels overwhelming.

• Self-Compassion — Learn how to respond to yourself with kindness rather than criticism.

• Thoughts — Explore how our thoughts affect the way we feel and respond.

• Emotions — Develop greater awareness and understanding of emotions.

• Social Comparison — Examine the impact of comparing ourselves to others.

• Gratitude — Practice noticing and appreciating the positive.

• Practical Strategies — Learn a new tool each week that can be used in everyday life.

Take What You Learn with You

Every week, students will learn a simple, practical strategy they can begin using right away, if they choose. These tools are designed to help teens pause, reset, and respond more intentionally when they're feeling stressed or overwhelmed.

No prior yoga or mindfulness experience is necessary.

This is a space to learn, breathe, reflect, move, and connect—while developing skills that can support well-being both now and in the future.
