'Yoga for Youth' is lead by our therapeutic recreationist Helen Arpin who is a certified Hatha Yoga Teacher as well as a Kundalini Yoga Teacher. She has trained extensively in Montreal and New Mexico.
Hundreds of youth claim that yoga has helped them relax, sleep better, and control anger more easily, as well as concentrate for longer periods of time on their school work, and just generally feel better about themselves.
Studies have demonstrated the powerful effect of Yoga on the physical, mental and emotional development of youth. Yoga works directly to reduce stress, strengthen the nervous system and stabilize ones emotional foundation.
This unique program is a rare gem in treatment facilities throughout Canada. Helen has designed this program especially to meet the needs of our youth and to provide an empowering tool so youth can be better able to cope with stressful situations in their lives.
