My intention is to create a space for parents and practitioners to comment, question and share experiences regarding yoga therapy for special children.
YOGA THERAPY FOR EVERY SPECIAL CHILD Yoga is an ancient practice meaning Union that uses movement, the breath and chanting to improve health. By joining mind and body, Yoga practice creates relaxation and greater mental clarity, while increasing circulation and enhancing respiration. Yoga also develops strength and muscle tone, greater flexibility, and can improve sequential memory skills and increase the ability to focus. All children, including those with compromised physical capabilities, can benefit from Yoga’s creative imagery, relaxation, stretching and strengthening techniques.
