Our teen holistic warrior program will be providing teens with the opportunity to develop their physical fitness while also tapping into certain aspects of mental health.
This program can have a monumental impact on our young adult and teen community. We believe that this can raise awareness for signs regarding depression and anxiety, provide teens with a safe space to come and release the day to day stresses of life and improve understanding of prevention related activities.
This program is open to kids ages 13-17. Activities will include tai chi, swimming, yoga, dance and fitness center group training; all under adult supervision. Outdoor activities will be included in the spring and summer as the weather gets warmer.
This is a program that runs all year and is open enrollment.
