Yoga provides not only an excellent, low-impact
workout, it also helps young people in key areas such
as body awareness, flexibility, concentration, stress reduction, and self-expression. The exercises and games
in this easy-to-follow guide are specifically designed
to fit the needs of teenagers and to show teens how to
work out and train their bodies in a relaxed way. It
requires no advance knowledge or preparation and can be
used by anyone working with teens between the ages of
10 and 20. The exercises are divided into static postures, dynamic postures, and exercises in pairs.

There are also visualization and meditation exercises
based on the four elements of nature as well as an
introduction to the basics of yoga philosophy. The
book can be used with large and small groups or as
part of a parent-teen activity. Practicing yoga together
is a perfect opportunity for parents and teens to exercise, talk, and spend time together in a healthy, positive manner.
