THE YOGA LOFT PRESENTS.... Yoga for tween girls
The Yoga Loft would like to introduce Yoga for Tween Girls for ages 9-12 years. A great way to build self acceptance, self esteem, self confidence, and so much more!
A look at the many benefits that yoga offers for adolescent girls.
The transition from little girl to grown woman often results in a crisis in confidence as young women face media manipulation, uncertain moral standards, heavy peer pressure, academic & career dilemmas. Let's focus on prevention; Yoga can help!
According to research from the Dove Campaign for Real Beauty's 2005 Global Study, "Beyond Stereotypes: Rebuilding the Foundation of Beauty Beliefs," 70 percent of teenage girls who feel bad about their looks respond by withdrawing from life. They avoid school, cancel doctor visits and feel afraid to speak up in class.
More than 90 percent of girls want to change at least one aspect of their appearance, with most of them picking body weight. Almost 25 percent consider plastic surgery to fix perceived flaws, and 13 percent admit to having an eating disorder. We see quite often that the media evokes ideals to girls which are often unattainable and unhealthy.
As wellness professionals, you have an opportunity to help teenage girls develop a healthier body image and a greater sense of self-esteem. One of the best ways to do that? Yoga.
Here are some other ways that yoga benefits tween girls:
- Improves Body Image While Decreasing Self-Consciousness
- Reduces Stress
- Increases Flexibility
- Promotes Better Posture
