Let’s face it, being a ‘tween is hard! You are not a kid anymore and you are not quite a teenager. Similarly, being a teen is no walk in the park either! Both ‘tweens and teens come to yoga class each week, like adults, with many different issues or concerns. All these situations, big or small cause stress for today’s kids and coming to yoga can help alleviate some of that stress while also teaching them techniques and life skills to manage their stress.
The Bee You Yoga (BYY) kids teacher training “Teaching Yoga & Mindfulness to ‘Tweens & Teens” will provide the tools necessary for you to help guide ‘tweens and teens through this stage of development. This training is a fun-filled, practical and engaging course that emphasizes teaching yoga and mindfulness to kids in a way that stretches their imaginations and offers them non-competitive environment where they are encouraged to “Bee Themselves.” What makes the BYY training unique is the emphasis on mindfulness and the way in which it can be incorporated into children’s yoga and their everyday lives.
Aquarian has joined Exhale to Inhale’s Movement for Meaning! By hosting this event they are showing our commitment to survivors of domestic and sexual violence and we’re supporting Exhale to Inhale’s mission of empowering survivors through the healing practice of trauma-informed yoga.

Announcing a brand new series coming to AMP Yoga Studio! Come dive deep into your emotional landscape with Yin, Journaling & Meditation.
Yin yoga is a practice designed to delve deeper into our bodies in a quiet, still, and mindful way. Poses are held for several minutes inviting the body to release into a deep stretch. When we provide ourselves with the space to pause, we are often connected to our inner voice.
This workshop will begin with a centering meditation followed by a series of yin poses targeting specific areas of the body targeting the Emotion of the day, followed by time to reflect and journal.
Reflective questions and prompts will be offered to assist those new to journaling or who wish to be guided in their writing. As with yoga, journaling is a way to connect with our inner selves. Both yin and writing can be ways of healing, releasing old patterns and stuck energy, and/or celebrating our bodies and our spirits.
Bring a journal and pen. No writing or yoga experience necessary. $30 drop in rate or $140 for all 5.
