Yoga for Teens--Increase Focus, Reduce Stress, and Improve physical strength and flexibility

Teens today have an ever-increasing stress level, between school, extracurricular activities, social pressures, and increased technology and social media usage. Yoga offers an incredible opportunity for students to improve their physical, mental, and emotional health. Students will learn yoga poses to build strength, coordination and flexibility, breathing exercises to increase emotional awareness, reduce stress, and increase focus and self-esteem in a positive, non-competitive environment. Each class will include a variety of yoga poses, including arm balances, inversions, and partner poses (if more than one person), breathing and mindfulness exercises, and an opportunity for journaling and reflection.

About Me

Hey there!
I’m Colleen Wisor…mama, educator, yoga + mindfulness instructor, and Founder of Wise Star Wellness. My life’s work is dedicated to empowering children and families with the tools necessary to live the happiest and healthiest life possible.
I’ve spent my entire professional career working with children and families: as a program coordinator for a children’s non-profit, an early childhood classroom teacher, and, for the better part of the last decade, as a yoga and mindfulness instructor. I hold yoga certifications from Three Sisters Yoga and Karma Kids yoga in New York City and earned my Master's Degree in Early Childhood Education from Columbia University.

I believe the foundation of a healthy life is emotional wellness, skills that are often missing in our increasingly fast-paced, technology-rich and oft high-pressure society. Over the course of my career, I’ve supported hundreds of children, teaching them tools for self-regulation, stress relief, and self esteem.

Out of my 10 years of teaching was born a desire to create a safe, inviting space to cultivate deeper connections with families in order to foster social-emotional health and wellness and enhance communication skills in children and their parents. To take time out of their day to do less, not more—and reap all of the incredible benefits. I'm excited to provide families with the opportunity to join me online and in-home for classes to allow them to unplug and reconnect with each other in order to live their happiest, healthiest lives possible.

They’ll be introduced to activities they may have not tried before, learn mindfulness, self-calming techniques, relaxation, and develop special friendships all while having loads of fun!

Storytime Yoga uses the power of story and imagination to teach children yoga poses, breathing exercises, and relaxation techniques to increase overall health and happiness while connecting with the important adults in their lives. We’ll bark in downward dog, jump like a frog, and smell the flowers, all while gaining the benefits listed above.

It offers a moment of stillness in a fast-paced world, allowing you to observe yourself, deepen self-awareness, and cultivate inner peace. This is not a competition—it’s a time just for you. :) I am looking forward to seeing you.

Inês
Yoga and somatic movement ( movement for the body and stillness for the mind)
Yoga with a somatic approach is a classe where we integrate the ancient knowledge of Yoga with a more exploration and enquiry-based approach which means that there is an opportunity to truly connect with the body and let the emotions and tensions be released through conscious movement. It helps to regulate the nervous system, develop a deep connection with yourself and life, prevent injuries and minize chronic pain.

Gaurav
Yoga & Meditation with an International Certified Teacher!
Yoga is a way of life! All you have to do is set aside some time and leave the rest to me. The process will make you feel better. You will enjoy this journey:) Yoga is much more than what we see on social media ;) Yoga was first referenced in the ancient sacred Rig Ved literature. Yoga = Yuj/Yoke/unite-union-joining (with the divine wisdom of the universe). Yoga, according to yoga sutra philosophy, is concentration. It is a holistic science based on yoga philosophy. It encompasses the whole person: body, mind, intellect, and consciousness. We will concentrate on your personalized approach!! Especially for you! You will have my whole attention. Bring back the ability to breathe, relax, and regenerate while performing some amazing asanas, kriya, mudra, and pranayama. There are many more. After the practice, you will feel revitalized. Consider it. These sensations are positive and will carry over into your daily lives. Take a deep breath and don't think too hard. Schedule a session and enjoy the ride! I teach overseas, in addition to business organizations and individual customers. Aside from Hatha, Ashtanga, Vinyasa, Himalayan, and Iyengar yoga, I understand you and work accordingly. So, let's see you on the mat. NAMASTE

Sri
Satyananda System of Yoga: "health, happiness, and harmony in life through yoga" (Swami Niranjanananda Saraswati)
My personal goal is to share the experience of "health, happiness, and harmony in life through yoga" (Swami Niranjanananda's guideline) with others. I firmly believe that yoga is a powerful tool to promote physical and mental well-being, find inner peace, and lead a balanced life. This philosophy flows into my teaching and inspires my students to begin their own journey towards greater well-being and harmony. After practicing yoga intensively since 2008, both in Satyananda ashrams in Greece and India, as well as daily as a personal sadhana, and initiated in Karma Sannyasa by Swami Satyasangananda Saraswati, my heart has been even more dedicated to the Satyananda system of yoga. My yogic name (Sannyasin Sri Vidya) reflects my deep connection to this tradition. My commitment to yoga is also evident in my continuous education. Since 2008, I have been participating in numerous yoga and meditation workshops and seminars in Europe and India. In 2024, I successfully completed my Yoga Alliance training in Vienna, further refining my skills as a yoga teacher. For the past year, I have been teaching yoga privately to adults, gaining valuable experience in imparting yoga practices. My passion for yoga, coupled with my musical background, allows me to create unique and inspiring yoga classes. My academic career includes a Master's degree in Musicology with a specialization in Music Education, as well as various Bachelor's degrees in Classical Piano, Opera Singing, Music Composition, and Theory. As a flutist and passionate kirtan singer (kirtan.serenityinaction.com), I bring a special musical touch to the yoga practice. A special advantage is my ability to teach yoga primarily in English and Greek. These language skills allow me to reach a wide range of students and offer international classes. As a yoga teacher, I pass on my knowledge as follows: -Creating an inviting atmosphere -Structure of the lesson: Starting with mantras chanting, asanas, pranayamas, relaxation (Satyananda System of Yoga) -Clear guidance and demonstration when necessary -Addressing students individually -Conveying yoga philosophy -Motivating and inspiring -Being authentic and leading by example -Open to questions and feedback

One to one Hatha-Vinyasa Yoga. Yin-Yoga. All levels.
This class is dedicated to all those who wish to calm the nervous system and work on rooting themselves in the present moment. Connecting with the body and its language. A combination of yoga and somatic techniques that help us understand how our body works and its relationship with the mind. For all levels, because we're not looking for virtuosity in complicated positions, but to refine our perception, communication and understanding of our ‘total self’. We'll use asanas and pranayama, as well as micromovements and meditation. Everyone is welcome! A perfect class if you're going through a period of stress or a lot of mental activity or worry, if you lead a very sedentary life, or simply if you want to relax and move your body. The purpose of those classes is education, not on the superficial level of mimicking form, but on a profoundly deep level of understanding the full use of the body as an integral whole to maximize full function of each individual's unique movement potential. The aim is toward maximum physicality in function and overall health as well as a state of relaxation and a stimulation of the body's energy centres and meridians that is revitalising and healing. The benefits of yoga also include gaining flexibility and working on breathing skills concentration, balance, endurance, muscular and vital strength, as well as strengthening the nervous system and immune system. The content and dynamics of the practices will be adapted to your experience, needs, age, and specific circumstances, seeking to gain the greatest possible benefit. I have experience working with and teaching beginners and people with little experience of physical work as well as children in the field of dance, acting movement, and yoga.

Hannah
Open level Vinyasa yoga, friendly classes integrating breathwork and strengthening exercises
Hannah teaches open & friendly Vinyasa flow classes accompanied by mood boosting playlists, where we will interweave work on strength and stability. She uses the breath as a core element of the practice, helping students connect with themselves throughout. Whether you are looking to increase flexibility, gain strength or feel more grounded in your everyday life, her classes will offer a space to take what you need on any given day. Hannah passionately believe that yoga is for everybody’s body and always give variations and modifications so the practice can be accessed by all. She also gives gentle offerings of assists, adjustments and breathing techniques that can be used on and off the mat. You'll be encouraged to meet yourself on the mat, practice with self acceptance, and leave feeling centered and content!
