博客來This manual is a companion resource to the Yoga Grade 11 curriculum, also authored by Jenny Kierstead, and taught in many high schools across Eastern Canada.
An essential guide for yoga teachers in the school system-and a valuable resource for instructors in after-school programs, youth organizations, and yoga studios-this manual offers a progressive, evidence-based approach to teaching yoga. It addresses both the physical activity needs and the mental health challenges faced by today’s teens.
Blending ethical teachings with anatomy, nutrition and physical practices that promote strength, flexibility, and balance, this manual presents a comprehensive arc of learning. The reflective mindfulness practices are specifically designed to support nervous system regulation, and emotional resilience.
More than a tool for personal wellbeing, this manual also empowers youth to step into leadership by offering opportunities to explore yoga teaching and peer facilitation.
Whether you’re a classroom teacher, studio instructor, coach, or mentor, this manual equips you to help teens develop confidence, self-knowledge and peace, by fostering a deeper connection to themselves and their communities.
