ZenTeens ✦ Yoga & Mindfulness Training
Next intake: 21st, 22nd, 23rd October 2026 at SunFyr Barns in Norfolk
We are looking for practitioners, parents and community members with 2+ years of yoga experience (personal or professional with a basic understanding of yoga) to join a partially funded training programme designed to increase access to yoga and wellbeing for teens across Norfolk. The programme includes three days of in-person training at SunFyr Barns, after which you will be equipped to offer free teens yoga classes in your local community. We’ll support you to feel confident in sharing mindful movement, breathwork, and inclusive yoga practices that help teenagers feel calm, connected, and supported.
We can offer match-funded training to share the transformative power of yoga and wellbeing with teenagers (Key Stage 3) in your school or community. In recent years, rates of anxiety, depression, and emotional distress among teens have risen dramatically, further intensified by social pressures, academic demands, and the lasting impact of the pandemic. Yoga offers a proven pathway to support self-regulation, confidence, and emotional resilience in young people. Now more than ever, we need to bring these tools directly to the spaces where teens learn and grow. Train with us and be part of that change.

Course content
Yoga based movement & mindfulness, key stage 3 (secondary school age) delivered via the ZenTeens programme
-
Teaching teen yoga and wellbeing should centre around content that is relevant, engaging, and inspiring - while always prioritising safety. Classes should be thoughtfully designed to be inclusive, purposeful, physically supportive, and grounded in mindfulness.
-
Each teen yoga session is built around key elements that support both body and mind. With a strong connection to PE and PSHE, classes are designed to promote physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing. Lessons incorporate a thoughtfully chosen theme, along with breathwork, mindfulness practices, gentle warm-ups, yoga postures, relaxation techniques, and guided meditation.

Written by our experienced and inspiring Occupational Therapist, who specialises in supporting schools, this module explores the foundations of safe teaching with a focus on body awareness. It covers the muscular and skeletal systems, core strength, and motor skills, with yoga asana chosen to support the natural development of the teen body.
You’ll also explore basic physiology and body systems, along with recommended postures to help promote long-term physical health and wellbeing.

This module explores how to make ancient yogic wisdom meaningful for today’s young people. We dive into values such as peace, truth, honesty, freedom, contentment, determination, insight, resilience, and compassion, translating them into practices that speak to today’s young people.
Using poetry, music, science, philosophy and inspiring quotes, we encourage thoughtful discussion and self-reflection, all woven into purposeful yoga practices teens can relate to and grow from.
