#036 How to Teach Tween and Teen Yoga Classes with Claire Louise Smith

from The Kids Wellness Podcast · host Giselle Shardlow | Kids Yoga Stories

Join Giselle Shardlow, founder of Kids Yoga Stories, and Claire Louise Smith, co-founder of Ambassador Yoga, as they talk about an interesting question for our community of kids yoga teachers and educators-turned-kids-yoga-business-owners: "How do we create effective and engaging tween and teen yoga classes?" Claire draws from her 20 years of experience as a yoga studio owner and creator of tween and teen yoga leadership training to share her essential tips for structuring a successful program for youth. Claire explains that neither the playful games and songs of children's yoga nor the rigorous physical practice of adult classes quite hit the mark for tweens and teens. So, what's the secret? It's about finding that sweet spot in between!
