Yoga for Teenagers

8 Benefits of Yoga for Teenagers

Yoga for teenagers is just as important as it is for adults. Research has shown that yoga is safe and beneficial to help teenagers cope with mental and physical challenges as they grow.

In today’s world, our teenagers are busy, going everywhere, and have added stresses of school, bullying, trying to fit in or unsure about their future. Yoga can help teens learn more mind-body connections to help strengthen the mind and relieve symptoms of anxiety, depression, and panic attacks before exams. Yoga can help your teenager learn ways to relax. Or maybe your teenager is competitive with school sports, and Yoga can complement their training.

Yoga works in three main areas; postures, breathing techniques, and meditation. The most popular yoga types for teenagers are Hatha yoga and Vinyasa Yoga.

Kevala Health live Yoga for teenagers’ online classes are fun and playful. We believe it’s important to focus on positive reinforcement in all teen yoga classes. You can try our private yoga online classes in the safety and comfort of your home.

8 Benefits of Yoga for Teens

  1. Improve Mental Focus:

    When you connect breath with yoga movements and poses you deepen your mind-body connection and strengthen the mind.

  2. Learn self-respect:

    Yoga teaches you to respect yourself and others.

  3. Positive moods:

    Yoga helps to uplift and energize your mind and body. Yoga also helps you to manage anxiety and depression mild symptoms.

  4. Improve Posture:

    Lots of screen time and sitting with teenagers weakens your back and tightens your chest, shoulders, and neck. Yoga will stretch and strengthen the body.

  5. Strengthen Immunity:

    Research shows yoga strengthens the immune system, so your teenager will be less likely to get sick.

  6. Improve Sleep:

    The teenager's body grows when it’s asleep. Yoga helps to relax the body and mind and therefore improves sleep.

  7. Increase self-esteem and discipline:

    Yoga promotes positive body image, respect, and confidence. You learn to do what feels right for your body and mind.

  8. Relieve body aches:

    When the teenage body is growing they feel muscle and bone aches. Or when they are competitive in sports they experience aches and pains.
