Tweens & Teens Wellness Afternoon in Newent: Yoga, Crafts, Crystals & Matcha

On a bright summer afternoon in Newent, Gloucestershire, Chamber 22 on Broad Street becomes a small, spirited studio where tweens and teens leave their phones in pockets and pick up paintbrushes, yoga mats and string of crystals. The Tweens & Teens Wellness Afternoon is a four-hour, expert-led pop-up designed for 11–15-year-olds to learn gentle yoga, craft crystal bracelets, hand-paint tote bags and build their own matcha or boba tea. It runs at Chamber 22, Broad Street, Newent, and balances playful creativity with practical wellbeing tools. This offering stands out because it blends low-key movement with maker culture under one roof. Crystal healer and jewellery maker Kiki from Kiki's Boho Spirit teaches intention-setting and bracelet making using amethyst, rose quartz and jasper, while artist Brydie of Paint Pot Parties guides participants through color mixing and brushwork as they design a one-of-a-kind tote. Lottie, a qualified PT, yoga and Pilates instructor, leads a gentle flow focused on breath, alignment and age-appropriate mobility. A build-your-own drink station lets each young person customize a matcha or boba beverage for a quiet recharge between sessions. Newent itself is a compact market town on the edge of the Forest of Dean and within easy reach of the Wye Valley; families often combine town shopping or wooded walks with a midday workshop. The venue’s Broad Street location is accessible from local bus routes and makes an easy stop for visitors staying in nearby Gloucester or Ross-on-Wye. For parents who value mindful screen breaks, this event offers tangible takeaways: painted tote bags, a crystal bracelet, and simple yoga sequences teens can repeat at home. Expect a small-group, supportive atmosphere tailored to beginner skill levels; no prior experience in yoga, jewelry-making or painting is required. Organizers advise comfortable clothing that can handle paint, and the schedule includes short breaks so attention stays fresh. This pocket retreat doubles as a creative birthday idea or a calm after-school option. Practical details: the session runs for four hours; age range 11–15; meeting point Chamber 22, Broad Street, Newent. Bring comfy clothes and an open mind. The class fosters hands-on skills—basic jewellery knotting, brush techniques and breathwork—that invite ongoing practice beyond the afternoon. Whether your teen is curious about crafts, craving gentle movement, or simply seeking a new way to relax, this program is a friendly, local introduction to wellness-style activities shaped for young people. Sessions are staffed by vetted professionals and prioritize safety, age-appropriate materials, and clear instructions; parents are welcome to wait nearby or drop off and return at the scheduled end time. Booking details and any allergy or access notes are provided at registration to make each workshop smooth and inclusive for every participant. Reserve your spot today—don't wait.
