Yoga for the Special Child

The word Yoga is derived from Sanskrit (an ancient language), which means to join or unite.  Yoga was founded in India around 200 B.C.  Yoga is not a religion but a physical and psychological discipline.  Yoga is a practice that balances and unites one’s mind and body while maintaining peace and freedom from distractions.  A traditional yoga practice encompasses meditation, poses, breathing techniques while living a simple, peaceful and grateful way of life.  In “Yoga for Kids”, we will focus on practicing the yoga poses and breathing exercises through gentle and therapeutic techniques.

Yoga can benefit all children of all ages and all abilities.  Yoga is especially beneficial for children with Down’s Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, ADHD, Autistic Spectrum Disorder and other developmental delays. By practicing the poses and breathing techniques, children will be able to expand their creativity, sense of self, social interactions, respect and connection to their environment and their bodies without competition,
