The transition from adolescence to adulthood can be a rocky one, so the Empower Yoga Studio in Beverly, Massachusetts developed a program that specifically teaches yoga for young adults.
The 'EmpowerU' program runs as a summer-long program for students between the ages of 17 to 22. As well as encouraging young adults to develop consistency in their personal yoga practices, the sessions are shaped in such a way that instills valuable lessons that can be applied to life beyond the studio. For instance, youth and young adults going through the end of high school, taking on new jobs or starting college leave the program feeling empowered, mindful and strong.
Millennials are approaching the health-conscious movement with authenticity, willing themselves to work towards solutions rather than getting a quick fix from products that claims to be a cure-alls for health and happiness.
