Free Tween Yoga Lesson Plan: Friendships

Written By Andrew Snider
Three young people with long dark hair are sitting together and smiling. There are trees and blue sky in the background.

Relationships are BIG with tweens (kids aged 8/9-12 years old). They are growing up and out of the sandbox-era of friendship and learning how to navigate more types of relationships and connections with their peers, families, teachers, teams, and communities (both online and off).

They are figuring out what it means to be a friend. Who is their bestie vs someone they know casually from school or soccer? Who can they trust to be themselves with or who can they go to with a problem?

It’s a time of highs and lows; and yoga can help guide them through these questions and transitions. Helping them stay connected to their true selves and share that with their friends.

That’s why we created this FREE Tween Yoga class plan for you on Tween Friends, Friends+ and Partners.

In this class you will focus on:

  • Rest and checking in with thoughts and feelings

  • Lots of fun partner poses to deepen connections amongst students

  • Breathwork to calm the body and mind
