The Benefits

Dru Kids and Teens Yoga and Teen Yoga Foundation gives young people life skills to take off the Yoga mat into each and every day. It targets the whole self, benefitting students on a physical, mental, emotional and spiritual level. It offers skills for managing life and opens the heart, giving students the opportunity to experience the greatest power within. Like all Yoga, DKT Yoga builds a strong sense of self, well-being and good health and encourages students to reach their fullest potential.

 

Teen Yoga

I’m on a mission to take Teen Yoga across Wales.

I am the Teen Yoga Foundation Ambassador for Wales working alongside the TYF founder Charlotta Martinus.

I trained as a Dru Yoga Kids and Teens teacher as well as specializing further in Teen Yoga with the TYF.

  • Supporting teens in discovering a safe space, drawing out their authentic, empowered selves to co-create a compassionate community
  • It brings a sense of awareness to the mind, the body, the breath and brings them into unison
  • Understanding the capabilities of the body through posture (asana) work - aided by the breath, allowing one to go deeper inside and deal with life challenges by looking from the inside rather than the outside
  • Provides individuals with techniques to better deal with both physical and mental challenges
  • It gives you a toolbox to pull from when needed to calm and take time out
  • Mindfulness emerges the more you practise the physical aspect
  • Creates a shift in perspective

You can access more information in the attached presentation.

Testimonials

I am a fat, inflexible 57 year old and I think Yoga with Cat Stujit is brilliant. Her Thursday evening Yoga sessions remove stress, make me do some excercise and improve my overall fitness. Afterwards I feel great and sleep very well. I would recommend Cat Stujit's Yoga sessions for all ages. Come and find out for yourself.

Daniel

Sabina is great, explains everything clearly and calmly and gives you variations if you can't quite manage the pose. Since I've been doing Yoga, my stress levels have gone down considerably and my back feels stronger. I look forward to Yoga every week as it's my chance to unwind and relax

George

This Saturday morning class offers both an oasis of calm and relaxation after a busy week and an invigorating, refreshing start to the weekend. I *found* Dru Yoga after years of practicing Hatha Yoga and its beautiful flowing rejuvenating sequences have deepened and enriched my practice. It is calming and yet energising at the same time. Cat is an inspiring teacher and her passion for Dru Yoga is definitely contagious! I'm so grateful for this practice - the benefits are far-reaching in that my mind, body and spirit feel as one!

Sian

I love this Saturday morning class, a great way to start the weekend with a friendly atmosphere, great instruction which allows you to go at your own pace.

Janet

I've been doing the Thursday class with Cat for a few weeks now and it's very rejuvenating and enjoyable. Cat brigs a calm energy to the class and with the stretching, breathing and relaxation at the end you leave feeling very energised but also blissed out! Cat is an excellent teacher and I thoroughly recommend the Dru Yoga classes.
