By creating a safe environment where at-risk and incarcerated youth can have their own experience of awareness-based practices, such as yoga and meditation, we encourage them to investigate their emotional, physical, and spiritual self; develop strong and healthy bodies; increase concentration, focus, and attention; and build self-esteem and confidence.
Through lecture and experiential activities, we explore the issues facing youth today, with an emphasis on trauma and its residual effects. We draw upon the practices that have been most meaningful to our personal growth as we learn techniques for: making content accessible, planning and structuring exercises and classes, and implementing basic reflective communication and group facilitation strategies.
This workshop is appropriate for anyone currently working with, or interested in working with, youth. Participants should have an established yoga and/or meditation practice and a desire to join a growing community of individuals who believe that all youth can know the great wisdom and compassion that exists within each of us.
Participants will be able to:
- Describe the myriad of issues facing youth today
- Indicate the definition, prevalence and effects of trauma on youth
- List five core themes of awareness based on the LP model
- Describe sections of the LP model and the LP teaching priorities
- Recognize the definition of and relevance of professional boundaries
- Define of reflective communication and the concepts involved
- Develop sample class content using the LP model
- Recognize the complexity of the issues facing youth today and the role of social support in the definition of “at-risk”
- Assess how trauma effects youth and how awareness-based practices can be beneficial to managing these effects
- Apply core themes of awareness as a framework for teaching creates continuity and makes content accessible to youth
- Cite the rationale behind the LP teaching priorities and model
- Discuss why maintaining professional boundaries is crucial in our work with youth
