Yoga Therapy for Every Special Child

 

This the second time I have blogged regarding this publication.  In these difficult energy changing times we can benefit by tapping into our Inner Awareness, there we hold all the answers.

The Benefits of YOGA

Yoga, which means "union", is the word used by the Hindu culture to describe the natural flow of body movements while melding structure and energy.

This book contains a specially-designed yoga program for use with children of all abilities, and provides both parents and professionals with the knowledge they need to carry out the therapy themselves.

The program consists of a series of postures, each of which is explained and accompanied by an illustration.

The postures are designed to help children understand and use their bodies, and work towards positive changes such as realigning the spine, encouraging eye-contact, and promoting calm and steady breathing.
