This bespoke Teen workshop will uncover their innate wellbeing, resilience & self-confidence helping them to overcome challenges and realise their extraordinary potential!

Whilst stress is a useful & natural in daily life, it can quickly become debilitating and ‘switch off’ our ability to retain and produce our best work.

In this relaxed & easy-going workshop, we will not only teach teens incredible things about how the body & brain work and how they respond to stress, but also how we all have the power to avoid, intercept & calm those natural responses. They will gain knowledge & skills that not only prepare them for the pressure of exams but will help them every single day.

They will move, stretch and calm their bodies using – having time disconnected from technology & the external world, to unwind and relax in a safe space and re-connect with themselves.

Teens will learn & practice proven tools and techniques that they can start using immediately, to help them overcome exam nerves and so prepare and sit exams calmly.

THE WORKSHOP

- How the body’s nervous system works; how & when the logical, thinking brain will go ‘off line’ – and what they can do to avoid it or bring it back. They will learn about the incredible Vagus nerve and how it can be ‘trained’ like a muscle to help us become more resilient, and cope better with stress.

- They will explore techniques that have been proven to calm us down and can be used anywhere including: grounding, breath work and Emotional Freedom Technique, a cutting edge method to support you to let go of unhelpful emotions.

- They will learn about their innate wellbeing & inner strength and explore how use them to help themselves, and others. cope better with stress.
