Empowering Teens Through Yoga, Teamwork, and Superhero Capes: A Look into Our Teen Tactic Program!

Written by OT Capstone Student – Zoe Goldman

Our dynamic Teen Tactic program tailored for participants ages 13+, runs every other Thursday from 5:30-7:00pm! This program kicks off with a 45-minute yoga session followed by interactive group activities to promote the importance of teamwork, problem-solving, and social skills all while making friends and having fun! 

A few weeks ago, our Teen Tastic crew enjoyed yoga taught by Playhouse volunteer, Marissa! Together, they worked on enhancing their mental well-being while working together in pairs to complete different yoga poses and stretches!

Following yoga, our participants engaged in a superhero – themed lesson to support teamwork and social skills where they shared with their friends at Gigi’s what makes them feel brave, strong, and AWESOME! This activity enhanced our participants to feel empowered by each other!

Participants made capes with drawings of their favorite superheroes! They also shared what they would like their superpower to be. During the activity, everyone was ecstatic to make their own capes and show them off to their friends and family. Ian was inspired by the superhero Flash! He spent his time creating his cape alongside his friends at Gigi’s and remained fully engaged during the whole activity! He was even spotted wearing it to bed, embodying the truth that Hero’s never truly rest!
