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.

Author: Nancy Williams has been a yoga therapist for more than nine years.  During this time she has worked with children with a wide range of special needs, including autism spectrum disorders, cerebral palsy, sensory integration disorder and Down syndrome.  Nancy also works as a pediatric Speech Pathologist, and is a certified Neuro development Treatment Therapist, Zero Balancing practitioner, Hatha Yoga instructor and Reiki Master Teacher.  She is an ordained minister in MSLA (the Movement of Spiritual Inner Awareness) and has a Master´s degree in Spiritual Science from the Peace Theological Seminary College of Philosophy.

Integration Race in Malaga Capital

Around 1,200 people of all ages and abilities took part in the 9th city race for integration in Huelin Park in Malaga on Sunday 9th November.

Runners from athletics clubs, wheelchair racers, children, pensioners and people with Down’s syndrome all competed in the race which was set out in three categories: 500, 1,500 or 5,000 metres. Two hundred participants had some type of special needs.

This is super news. Let's make a point to add this date to our diary for 2009, I'd like to see my local Autistic Association, Aprona and Aspandem participating.

There are many topics I will be adding to this blog, one that caught my eye last weekend in Marbella was the amount of wheelchair users that were out for a Sunday stroll. Of course it was a beautiful day and Marbella has incorporated many wheelchair friendly ramps. On the other hand I will be going around San Pedro with my camera, I was horrified to see many establishments that are ignoring the new laws, they will be posted here, at a later date, on this blog. You have been warned.
