Yoga education is central to all that we do here at Over the Moon. Children and teens alike delight in movement, and their joy in physical extension is the key to teaching the connectedness between mind and body. The practice of yoga not only builds physical strength and flexibility but also helps to improve mental focus and emotional regulation – essential skills for life, from adolescence to adulthood.

Yoga for teens at Over the Moon offers a supportive space for self-exploration, focus, and physical development. Through sessions that balance calm and energy, movement and stillness, mindful movement and breathwork, students will gain valuable tools to help navigate the challenges of adolescence – building confidence, mental focus, and emotional resilience

Under the guidance of Edna Reinhardt, teens will explore the connection between mind, body, and breath. Edna formally began her yoga and dance journey in 1975, studying with Dorothea Mangiamele, founder of Mangala Studios, whose integration of music and movement left a lasting impression on her teaching. Over the years, this practice has guided Edna through her work with children and teenagers.

One of the guiding principles at Over the Moon is that yoga and dance can and do intersect. The postures provide technical foundations in body alignment and muscle engagement, but also a mindset for how to approach dance. Edna’s approach emphasizes mindful movement, allowing students to discover their own body’s language – fostering confidence and creativity through yoga postures and sequences.
