The Teen Brain
Raising Resilient Teens
This module is specifically crafted to provide a comprehensive understanding of the adolescent brain, catering to teen yoga and mindfulness teachers, parents, educators, and anyone involved in teen well-being. This knowledge is pivotal as it shapes our interactions and support for adolescents as they navigate life into adulthood.
Delving into various topics, we explore:
- Brain Development
- Emotional Regulation
- Social and Peer Influence
- Critical Thinking
- Conflict Resolution
- Active Listening
- Learning Styles
- Problem Solving Skills
- Resilience and Mental Health
- Gender Identity & Terms
- Autonomy
- Communication Strategies
Understanding and respecting gender identity is a cornerstone of creating inclusive and supportive environments. When it comes to providing care and support, adopting a trauma-informed approach is crucial in acknowledging and addressing the unique challenges individuals may face due to their gender identity. By recognising the intersections of trauma and gender, professionals can cultivate spaces that prioritise safety, dignity, and empowerment, ultimately fostering healing and resilience within diverse communities.

Children with Additional Needs
If you teach or are a kids yoga and mindfulness teacher you will meet many different kinds of kids. This in-depth module explores the various needs of children and how yoga, mindfulness and meditation can help alleviate day-to-day symptoms and stressors.
We look at what these labels mean, where they come from and how to help lessen the symptoms using yoga, mindfulness and meditation activities.
- EBD
- ADHD
- ADD
- PDA
- Dyslexia
- Dyspraxia
- Downs Syndrome
- Cerebral Palsy

As well as exploring sleep deficit and uncovering the lesser well know extra 3 senses Vestibular, Proprioception and Interoception systems and how these play a huge part in building awareness of self and other.
Children with additional needs often experience heightened levels of stress and anxiety in their daily lives. Understanding their unique challenges and requirements, teachers can tailor activities and incorporate sensory integration techniques such as yoga, mindfulness, meditation, and breathing exercises into their class. These tools provide invaluable skills for children to better navigate life's hurdles, fostering resilience and well-being.
This course provides a solid understanding of children with additional needs enabling teachers to create inclusive and supportive environments where all children can thrive.
