The centuries old practice of yoga is a wonderful way to address the needs of our children. Periodically we run group yoga and on an ongoing basis therapists routinely incorporate yoga into their therapy sessions. These sessions are beneficial for children with sensory processing difficulty, low muscle tone, decreased strength & coordination, motor planning difficulty, anxiety & attention difficulties.

Some of the many therapeutic benefits of yoga include :

• improved ability to maintain a calm, alert state (self regulation)
• improved concentration and attention
• increased body awareness
• improved respiratory function
• better sleep
• reduced stress
• improved motor planning
• improved strength and endurance
• improved self esteem
• reduced anxiety

Yoga can help improve your child's strength, flexibility, sleep & digestion, as well as give them an inner sense of calm. Your child may experience a wonderful sense of accomplishment as they learn new yoga poses which they can show to parents, siblings and classmates!
