Crossing The Threshold

‘Crossing The Threshold’ captures the visions and dreams of diverse thinkers from across the educational landscape. Join Max & Nikki from The Visionaries in conversation with a different guest each episode as we share ideas for how to harness education to better support young people and create a healthy society. Our discussions meander through the ‘youth-scape’ covering topics such as; navigating change, emotional wellbeing, relationships, social and environmental justice, education reform, nature connection, and the value of rites of passage etc…

So, how are we supporting young people to cross the threshold into a healthy adulthood? Stay tuned to find out.

#9 – Charlotta Martinus – Coming Home to Ourselves
byThe Visionaries

This week we’re joined by Charlotta Martinus, Founder of The TeenYoga Foundation, who’s doing incredibly transformative embodied work to better support young people to live healthily.

Of course, we talk about yoga, using yoga in schools and the incredible positive impacts it has for youth. We chat about the medicalisation of youth, the adolescent mental health crisis, and why holistic, preventative approaches consistently show themselves to more effective (of course, no?)

We discuss the shift of the parents role as their children grow up, the impact technology has on youth and the global trend towards increasing disembodiment that youth are indoctrinated into.

Charlotta gives sheds a light on how Yoga goes way beyond it simply being a body practise; how it much more a life philosophy, and therapeutic practice and helps youth to ‘live their truth’. 

Charlotta is pioneering yoga in schools around the world, showing it’s remarkable evidence base for helping young people relate more healthily to trauma and their mental health more generally.

Charlotta has worked with young people her entire life, initially as a school teacher and then as a yoga teacher and now training professionals to bring yoga to young people. Her book, TeenYoga for Therapists, came out in 2018 and she has trained 1300 students in TeenYoga; the gold standard training world wide.

The charity, Teen Yoga Foundation, raises money to research the impact of yoga on young people and has also funded training courses in Africa and funded yoga in disadvantaged schools around the world.

Charlotta has also been involved in lobbying parliament in bringing yoga into schools. Her teacher in India and her two teenage sons continue to be her inspiration.

We launched the Crossing The Threshold podcast in 2020 as we wanted to make space to share deeper conversations that explore the UK’s educational landscape, and how it shapes our present and future society. We journey through the a wide range of topics such as;

  • Education reform
  • Sustainable futures
  • Holistic education
  • Wellbeing
  • Nature connection
  • Rites of passage and beyond

In each episode our two directors, Max and Nikki, sit down with a different guest – leading thinkers and inspiring characters from the world of education – to discuss how they’re equipping the next generation to cross the threshold into adulthood.

Get in touch with us via email at hello@thevisionaries.org.uk if you know someone who’d make a good guest!
