The purpose of this yoga series is to introduce yoga to teens that are interested. If the group is successful and the attendees would like to come to this class regularly, we will turn this into an ongoing class. In other words, this series is to "test the water" and see if this is something that teens in the area are interested in or would benefit from. We need a minimum of 4 teens to run the program.
