Yoga & Meditation for Teens
May 2011
Hi: I'm looking for a yoga and/or pilates class for my 13 year old
daughter. She would prefer to be in a class with other teens. I would
appreciate recommendations for summer classes/camps or ongoing
afternoon/evening classes (which accommodate teens) in Oakland or
Berkeley, but Alameda or Lafayette areas would also be good.
Thanks so much.

Yoga Kula on Virginia and Shattuck has plans to start a teen class.
I believe the time will be 4 on Tuesdays - so check the website
YogaKula.com!

My daughter took Pilates with Rosie Liebe, massage practitioner and
Pilates instructor, in Berkeley and loved the experience. I was so
happy that my daughter made a connection with a healthy woman who
helped identify her strengths and motivated her to stay strong.
Rosie gives classes too, but I don't know if she has classes (yet)
for only teens. The Body Praxis 510.828.3441

Can anyone recommend a beginning/not-too-intense yoga class
for a teenage girl. preferably in North Berkeley? It
doesn't have to be a class for teenagers, just one that
would accept a sixteen-year-old. m.
Hi! The Berkeley YMCA has a teen membership for teens
14-18. Many of our teens enjoy a variety of the adult
fitness classes we have to offer, including yoga. We can
easily provide recommendations for first classes to try,
etc. If you would like more information, please contact
Paul Milsap at pmilsap@baymca.org or 665-3234. Eden
Jessie Holland teaches yoga and does accept teens. In fact,
she has a yoga class that's about to start for beginners.
Although I haven't taken her class, friends of mine have.
They say she's really good, and they've enjoyed the class.
She teaches at a few studios-Berkeley & Oakland. I'm not
sure of the location for the beginning class that will be
starting later in September. Her number is 510- 926-0577
or e-mail her at HollandJessica@Yahoo.com. RMI
I would like to recommend Carrie Adams and the Yoga Kula on
Shattuck Ave. in Berkeley. Carrie is a great, very
supportive and patient teacher. My 16 year old daughter has
taken classes with her and been very happy. She teaches a 6
pm beginning class on Monday nights. Marel

Looking for a teen meditation group for my 14 yr old
daughter who visits us monthly. She would like to meet peers
in this area to build friendships. Something more to look
forward to than visiting family.
