The transition back to school can create anxiety for kids and teens. They may feel anticipatory emotions of fear and excitement about new teachers, new friends, more homework, and being away from home all day. Yoga and meditation will help them sleep better, focus more easily, relax their brains, and energize their bodies. We are offering a three day “Buddha Boot Camp” for all ages to teach these powerful tools so your child will be ready to start the school year! Follow the link below to find out more information, dates and times for your child 🙂

In each of our classes, we do a kid-friendly discussion about the parts of the brain and what happens in the body when their "security guard" (i.e amygdala) goes off. Deep breaths, yoga and meditation are wonderful tools to help anxiety, and it's great to know that our yogis are learning more about their body + brain connection with every session!

We just took a great course called "Rewire the Anxious Brain" with Catherine M. Pittman, Ph. D where she spoke of the immediate benefits of yoga on reducing the activation in the amygdala. Her book, Rewire the Anxious Brain, is a great read on the subject!
