Youth ages 12 to 17 are invited to join Luna Power Yoga, teacher Jess Stafford as she leads a Teen Yoga Summer Series on July 9, 16, 23 and 30 at the studio, in Mahopac. 

“Whether the teen in your life is new to yoga or has taken a class or two before, all are welcome to come together for an inclusive and holistic-focused summer series,” says studio owner Cate Bartilucci. “Teens will learn not just how to move and stretch their bodies in an intentional manner, but also how to connect with themselves—to highlight their well-being, learning how to take a step back, breathe and reflect on how they are feeling in a fun and judgement-free environment.”  

Space is limited to 10 individuals, so Bartilucci recommends registering as soon as possible. Participants do not have to bring a yoga mat, as there will be some available to borrow.

Stafford, RYT-500 and RPYT, has certifications in Ayurveda and restorative and chair yoga, as well as a Master of Arts in dance education and a Bachelor of Fine Arts in dance performance. Following her life as a professional dancer, she began teaching yoga and dance classes nationally and internationally.
