Foundations of Wellbeing for 14-18 Year olds

8 week Therapeutic movement and mindfulness course designed for Rangatahi 14-18 year olds
Mondays 4-5pm
28th April - 16th June 2025

The Keeping Ourselves Well Foundations Programme is an inclusive and gently paced programme over 8 weeks for youth aged 14 - 18 years old experiencing overwhelm and anxiety.

This programme works directly with the physiological responses to stress and overwhelm by using yoga forms, stabilising breath techniques and mindfulness. Working with evidence-based body-centred interventions can reduce symptoms of anxiety by helping to regulate the autonomic nervous system.
