Starting Middle-School with Confidence…

This fun and engaging workshop helps kids build confidence and self-awareness while learning about self-care tools they can use every day!

Middle school brings new challenges, but one of the best ways to navigate change is by building a strong self-care routine. In this two-hour workshop, Center founder & director, Kate Kelly, and yoga and mindfulness instructor, Linda Feldman, will help soon-to-be 6th graders develop practical tools for emotional balance, stress management, and everyday self-care.

Through movement, mindfulness, and hands-on activities, tweens will learn how to regulate emotions, calm anxious thoughts, and create simple, go-to habits that support their well-being — inside and out.

What we’ll cover:

  • Yoga & movement for easing anxiety and boosting confidence

  • Breathing & mindfulness exercises to calm the nervous system in stressful moments

  • Self-regulation practice to manage emotions

  • Becoming your own BFF to quiet negative self-talk and build self-kindness and confidence

  • Essential oil blends to encourage focus, relaxation, and calm

  • How to create a personal self-care plan with sleep, nutrition, and movement habits to help you feel your best

This workshop is a great way to build confidence and self-awareness while gaining tools kids can use every day — through middle school and beyond!
