3 to 5 Years → “The Foundation Phase”
This is the age of rapid brain development, sensory exploration, and emotional imprinting. The child is just beginning to understand the body, emotions, people and safety. The right inputs here set lifelong blueprints.
UniSutra understands it as:
● Body: They need gross motor play, sensory stimulation, and physical safety.
● Energy: Sleep, breath, and rhythm regulation matter hugely at this stage.
● Mind: Emotions show up strongly but lack words. So emotional literacy begins here.
● Intellect: Creativity blooms — role-play, art, building, storytelling are key.
● Soul: Love, safety, and being unconditionally held form the bedrock of trust.
Suggested Workshop Theme:
Parent-Child Dyads: Building Inner Safety
● Separation anxiety, sleep irregularities
● Emotional overwhelm and tantrums
● Early regulation struggles
6 to 8 Years → “The Exploration Phase”
This is the early cognitive and social development stage. Children begin understanding rules, roles, routines, and navigate peer relationships and authority. They’re eager to learn, question, mimic, and form identity.
UniSutra understands it as:
● Body: Kids are refining motor skills, posture, body awareness.
● Energy: Introduction to breath-body connection helps calm and focus.
● Mind: They face first emotional/social friction — friendships, rules, feedback.
● Intellect: The “why” stage — imagination + inquiry = golden combo.
● Soul: Still rooted in their caregivers’ validation — belonging is identity.
Suggested Workshop Theme:
Big Feelings, Small Bodies
● Emotional outbursts and social stress
● Sensory overload and difficulty expressing needs
● Self-confidence dips
Suggested Workshop Theme:
Body & Belonging
● Identity confusion and early peer pressure
● Screen-induced stress and anxiety
● Emotional withdrawal or defiance
9 to 12 Years → “The Inner Compass Phase”
This is when children start to form opinions, explore independence, and develop moral frameworks. Identity begins shaping more strongly. They’re still open, but need tools to navigate complexity.
UniSutra understands it as:
● Body: Puberty may begin. Needs grounding, strength & body acceptance.
● Energy: Subtle intro to self-regulation through breath and routine.
● Mind: Navigating conflict, failure, jealousy, friendships, and group belonging.
● Intellect: They begin to internalize morals, ask deeper “why”s, compare.
● Soul: The first hints of individuation and personal ethics emerge here.
13 to 18 Years →Teenage
This is for the teens and adolescents — who are navigating identity, independence, intense emotions, social dynamics and the early quest for purpose.
UniSutra understands it as:
Body: Teens often feel alienated from their changing bodies — so "owning and honouring" helps shift perception from criticism to acceptance.
Energy: Hormonal, social, and emotional energies fluctuate — they need tools to manage that inner storm.
Mind: They start noticing mental patterns, peer influence, anxiety, etc. A reflective but non-clinical language makes it accessible.
Intellect: They're wired for idealism, rebellion, and independent thought. Give them that.
Soul: They begin asking “Who am I?” and “What’s my purpose?”
Suggested Workshop Theme:
Reset & Rise
● School and social burnout
● Emotional highs/lows and overthinking
● Disconnection from self due to changing bodies and purpose
19 - 25 Years→ Young Adults
Psychologically and socially, this group is: Seeking identity clarity and life direction, wrestling with career decisions, relationships and existential questions, learning to balance freedom and responsibility. They often redefine or break away from inherited belief systems
UniSutra understands it as:
Body: This age often neglects or overexerts the body. Framing it as a “vessel” makes it sacred, without being preachy.
Energy: They’re riding waves of burnout, hustle culture, and confusion — "Mastering rhythm" sounds empowering, not passive.
Mind: They're starting to reflect on why they react the way they do — helpful for introducing shadow work, pattern-breaking, therapy.
Intellect: Now is the time to restructure beliefs, drop old conditioning, and learn critical self-inquiry.
Soul: This is when existential questions peak. “Why am I here?” becomes a lived, not theoretical, pursuit.
Suggested Workshop Theme:
Stuck, Scattered & Searching
● Exhaustion despite rest
● Career anxiety, directionlessness
● Patterns that keep repeating
26–35 yrs → Adults in Transition
These are people entering career, relationships, parenthood, and defining stability. They're balancing ambition, emotional maturity, burnout, and meaning.
UniSutra understands it as:
Body: Here, maintenance trumps experimentation. They face postural issues, fatigue, etc.
Energy: Chronic stress is the norm. The power lies in regulation and reclaiming energy.
Mind: They must untangle inherited patterns and beliefs that no longer serve them (family, societal).
Intellect: They’re moving from survival → strategy. It’s the time to define “success” personally.
Soul: They’re often feeling “I’m doing all the right things — but is this it?” → calling for soul alignment.
Suggested Workshop Theme:
Aligned, Not Just Achieving
● Burnout, hormonal or gut issues
● Emotional shutdown or lack of clarity
● Feeling unfulfilled despite success
36 to 50 Years → "The Realignment Phase"
This group has often built something — a family, a career, a social identity — but now faces mid-life stirrings, burnout, hormonal shifts, caretaking stress, or emotional emptiness. They need realignment, renewal, and inner anchoring.
UniSutra understands it as:
Body: Health starts declining unless actively rebuilt. Sleep, digestion, joints, libido—everything needs attention.
Energy: Nervous system fatigue is common. Hormonal imbalances and sleep disorders spike here.
Mind: They carry years of suppressed emotion, often silently. Anxiety, dissatisfaction, or disconnection emerge.
Intellect: There's a powerful need to redefine “success” and “purpose”, especially post-children, divorce, or burnout.
Soul: This age hears the whisper of soul most intensely — “There must be more.”
Suggested Workshop Theme:
The Midlife Mirror
● Caregiver fatigue, resentment buildup
● Emotional flatness, role-based identity loss
● Soul or hormonal imbalances
50+ Years → “The Integration Phase”
This group is in the wisdom years, but often struggle with loss of relevance, health decline, emotional voids, or identity shifts (empty nest, retirement, grief).
However, this stage offers huge untapped potential for joy, contribution, and peace — if consciously supported.
UniSutra understands it as:
Body: They face aches, slowing down, or even disease — but also deepen body respect.
Energy: Declining prana needs gentle stimulation, not aggressive routines.
Mind: There’s often grief, loneliness, or unresolved relationships to heal.
Intellect: The need shifts from “ambition” → “contribution” or meaningful legacy.
Soul: If nourished, they bloom into blissful presence, guidance for others.
Suggested Workshop Theme:
Still & Whole
● Emotional grief, memory or sleep struggles
● Aging-related uncertainty or disconnection
● Longing for peace and spiritual clarity
