It is HARD being a teen today. WE GET IT. And here at UPLIFT, we get to talk about it all and ask the big questions. In a world full of comparison, how do I radically love myself? How do I deal with anxiety and depression? How do I love my body? How do I just be ME and let go of who I’m *supposed* to be? Welcome home to the UPLIFT Teen Yoga Podcast where we are in this thing called life together. Join us as we dive into inspirational stories shared by teens and experts in mental health, yoga, spirituality, and more. Let’s move together from dark to light as we honor our lives and experiences and get raw and honest about the pressures facing teens today. Our intention is that each episode awakens your heart as you remember who you truly are and what you are capable of. We all exist to light up the world in our own unique way. May we activate the light within us and remember we are made of magic.
