It was really fun and transported you to another world. The theme song by Leona Lewis called "I see you" could be nice for some gentle flowing session or relaxation. Although it may start a lot of conversation from those who've seen the movie. Be prepared! If you get a chance to see it in 3D - it was really mesmerizing.

Adult classes don't meet their needs physcially or mentally and many aren't able to truly access the richness of the practice. Unfortunately the teens now think they've tried yoga and it wasn't for them. Hopefully by educating more people on how to teach teens properly more teens will be able to enjoy yoga and incorporate it into their lives.

Summer 09, I had two college interns for a month, 17 years old, who I took to a hot yoga class for their first yoga class. I knew it would be tough and told them accordingly, but I thought their youth would love the challenge, little did I know. I'm sure you're teaching experience will already be aware of some of my observations. 1. After being told that both are sportive, from first few poses it was obvious that neither really had strength, active or had the ability to hear teaching/talking cues of the instructor. 2. The language used too adult & had no reference points that could help encourage them to maintain or work thru' a pose or the class. 3. I felt that one of the girls wanted to learn more, but since it was difficult, they would keep looking at each other to see who would be the first to leave. Eventually they both did give up, but swore up & down that they loved it. Since I do love to encourage others, including the future teens who may intern with Plank, to discover the practice of yoga, I would love to hear how it went. Love the idea.
