Teens “fall into health” each Sunday this October! Combine the benefits of “clean” nutrition & yoga/mindfulness in a fun community environment. Molly O’Neil of mPowering Health will conduct peer group health coaching & make energizing recipes that help balance mood, increase energy and fuel your body. Jen Buettner of JB Mindful will be introducing the benefits of yoga by breaking down the practice and basic poses. She will be conducting yoga flow classes that empower the group to be able to practice on their own or encourage the practice within the community.
This group is for 13-16 year-old girls who are interested in learning more about living a healthy life and sharing thoughts & ideas with each other in a safe & non-judgmental environment. Each week will incorporate a different theme and combine 45 minutes of yoga with 45 minutes of nutrition/wellness. Includes take home fun samples, and handouts.
