TeenSpace will change your life!
A day of Yoga, Meditation and self awareness in beautiful Sedona, Arizona for teens -
This is the perfect opportunity for teens to explore how to live their lives with self-awareness, self-care, wisdom and presence.
Teens will discover the tools it takes to learn how to relax, make better choices, speak their truth, and be comfortable just ‘being’ rather than ‘doing’.
TeenSpace events are a ‘don’t miss’ for any teen interested in experiencing meditation and mindfulness practices, an inspired yoga class, heartfelt communication, wonderful mentors, a safe community, and a time to reflect on the mysteries and truths of your lives.
“TeenSpace is a time for teens to share a day where they’ll discover their own thoughts, their desires and their dreams. They’ll learn to listen to themselves and discover techniques for relaxation, and be introduced to yoga and meditation too,” explains Debra Beck, a presenter and author of the book for teens, My Feet Aren’t Ugly, A girl's guide to loving herself from the inside out.
Maura Mark, a certified yoga teacher and yoga therapist, assures teens that “with yoga, they can improve their posture, become more flexible, get really relaxed, de-stress and do all this as they listen to great music.”
This retreat is for any teen that is ready to look deep inside themselves and open up to new ways of being present. It doesn’t matter what your race, religion, sexual orientation, past experiences, or future plans are: if you are open to self discovery and learning new things, TeenSpace is for you.
“All of us that work with the teens are completely passionate about helping young people learn to take care of themselves and make better choices for their lives, ” says a retreat facilitator and meditation instructor, Sarah McLean.
The days events will include three separate workshops facilitated by each of the three presenters above. Food will be provided during our lunch break and we will all gather together at the end of the day for a closing segment which will leave you refreshed and inspired!

Workshop:TEEN YOGA WORKSHOP
With all the demands that youth today experience throughout their busy lives the movement and meditation inherently experienced through the practice of yoga can provide teens with great skills to relieve and manage stress. In this class teens will not only strengthen and tone the body with a great yoga "workout", but will also learn through yoga how to more deeply connect to the mind and spirit. Yoga for Teens is a great way to clear the mind from all the clutter and create peace and balance, as well as, provide a non-competetive environment allowing for growth and success. This practice will blend movement both vigorous and gentle, music that is current, conscious breathing, meditation and deep relaxation. The music is new, but the practices are ancient. This is a yoga class with a serious passion for life, designed to get you out of your “stuff,” and back into the groove. Leave behind the attitude that “something is wrong” and experience the inner peace that comes with feeling that everything is “already perfect” in the present moment.
