Teaching Yoga for Special Needs Children

Working with Special Needs Children: Integrating Yoga and other Mind/Body Techniques with Sue Guertin, RYT , OT
For parents, teachers, occupational therapists, children and family therapists; anyone who works with and loves children.
Because Yoga works on so many different levels, it has great potential as an effective therapy for chronic diseases and conditions that do not respond well to conventional treatment methods. For this reason, children with Down Syndrome and other developmental disabilities who practice Yoga often surprise their parents and teachers with their quick mastery of basic motor, communicative, and cognitive skills. The same Yoga routine can help children with learning disabilities develop greater concentration, balance, and composure in their daily lives. Everyone gains some level of benefit. The only requirements are proper instruction and regular practice. No previous yoga experience is required for this workshop. Please join us.
