YOUNG PEOPLE'S WORKSHOP
THE YOUNG PEOPLE’S WORKSHOP is a 2 hour sanctuary for children 7-13, geared toward empowering children and youth with several options (primarily yogic tools) for handling the stress and challenges of daily life. The results are:
Improved self esteem (through practice of ahimsa and “esteemable” acts),
Courage to stand up for ourselves and to admit our faults (versus placing blame, covering, or “acting out”)
A renewed connection and acceptance of our Selves that we lose every now and then by trying to please the world.
We cover some core issues in The Workshop: first we create a safe space for sharing through ice-breaker and brain games. Half way through we are ready for yoga class, which includes a meditation and deep relaxation their bigger-than-life feelings, the 24/7 schedule, their work load…then we role play issues on the schoolyard, practicing how to stand up to “oppressors” – as all this stress starts for them at 5!
Toward the end, we energize ourselves and review our new tools, taking home the meditation and some handouts with my contact information to stay in touch and follow up with any future issues that present themselves.
