Practical and Comprehensive Curriculum For educators, therapists, counselors, and movement practitioners working with teens Includes photos and tips for facilitating the activities "How might this feeling of being at home in their bodies impact teens’ well-being as they struggle to cope with the stresses of adolescence and as they mature into adulthood?" From the introduction "Most young people in the United States have twelve years or more of formal education, with an emphasis on learning to develop the intellect. While strong academics are important of course, the view of learning as a solely cognitive function, without any thought given to the role of the body, cumulatively perpetuates the body-mind split so detrimental to our well-being. This book represents an invitation to heal the body-mind dichotomy by presenting an avenue to help adolescents develop an embodied self-awareness. As part of their core education, youth need to have opportunities to learn about their own bodies and, just as important, the relationship between their body and their mind. Somatic education practices, like those that form the basis of the curriculum in this book, provide a dynamic and engaging format for students to begin this lifelong process." - Susan Bauer, author of The Embodied Teen
