Announcement posted by Yogazeit Ltd 05 Jan 2021

Perth, WA: Yogazeit Ltd today announced Mindful Yoga for Teens and Young Adults, a new inititative with a focus on mental Health, funded by City of Fremantle and supported by PCYC Fremantle. The Mindful Yoga classes are weekly run by a qualified Yoga Educator. Participants can choose to log on via Zoom or attend the class in person.

Young people in Australia experience very high stress in schools and life, which can have negative impacts on their mental health, social and academic skills.

The 60min class is suitable for ages 13+ and offers a new way for young people to learn to live a happy, healthy life. Classes incorporate mindfulness and relaxation techniques that will support participants with skills for life.

“Rather than putting on a patch and treating children and adolescents for mental health illnesses when its there, our yoga and mindfulness programs teach kids essential skills from the INSIDE OUT. Through Yoga and Mindfulness we get an opportunity to learn to become more self-aware which will help us self-regulate. It's real Yoga Time - being present for when we need it most" says Regina Cruickshank Founder and Executive Director of Yogazeit Ltd.

Mindful Yoga for Youth is available in 4 weekly blocks throughout the first half of 2021, each class lasting 60 minutes and covering:

Breathing exercises to help you with stress and anxiety at school or at home

Mindfulness Practices to help you stay focused and calm your mind

Very gentle Mindful Movement (Yoga) to enhance physical fitness, flexibility and strength suitable for complete beginners!

Relaxation as a platform for self-care and to destress

Mindful Yoga for Youth classes will be held on Wednesdays throughout Term 1 and 2 2021 with the first block starting in February: 3, 10, 17, 24 from 5pm - 6pm @ PCYC Fremantle. Other months are also available to book onto now. All classes are funded by City of Fremantle and kindly supported by PCYC Fremantle.
