Therapeutic Yoga for

Children with Special Needs

 

All yoga classes for children at Dream Yoga—both group and private—support children’s development physically, mentally and emotionally. Private Sessions with Dream’s Yoga instructors and therapists are tailored to meet students’ and families’ unique needs and can be very therapeutic.

 

Dream Yoga is excited to offer a new program  designed to meet the unique needs of children who struggle with their physical and social development. These Private Therapeutic Yoga Classes for Children with Special Needs are led by certified yoga teachers with training and experience in meeting children's special needs.

 

This is the program you’ve been waiting for…if your child has special challenges such as:

    •  Learning disabilities
    • Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
    • Autism
    • Cerebral Palsy
    • Down Syndrome
    • Sensory Processing Disorder

 

Through breathing exercises, singing, yoga poses, deep relaxation and other yoga practices, children of all ages will discover that yoga provides them with a safe and supportive environment where they can develop at their own pace and be accepted for all the gifts that they do have!

 

Benefits of the program include:

    • Improves the ability to focus and concentration
    • Develops mental and physical strength, flexibility, and balance
    • Loosens tight limbs
    • Strengthens hypotonic (floppy) body parts
    • Promotes language and communication skills
    • Builds self-esteem and self-acceptance
    • Offers a way to connect to oneself and others
    •  Helps children calm their bodies and minds

 

 

Special classes for your child will start with an initial parent consultation and child evaluation.

 

Fees: Initial consultation and evaluation is $125 for 90 minutes.

Fees for subsequent Private Sessions are

$110/75 minutes, $95/60 minutes, $75/45 minutes, $50/30 minutes

  How Yoga Helps Kids

 

Yoga gives kids the boost they need to be stronger, healthier and happier!

Children who do yoga have:

  • Stronger immune systems. They get sick less.
  • Better concentration. They become calmer and learn to focus longer.
  • Improved confidence and athletic ability. Yoga promotes coordination and positive body image.
  • More sound character. Children learn to be more thoughtful and positive towards themselves and others. 
  • Less stress. Children learn valuable tools for handling everyday challenges. They’re less anxious.
  • Greater ability to get a good night’s sleep.

 

 

Regarding the enormous benefits of yoga to children, a Yoga Journal article notes:

“Our children live in a hurry-up world of busy parents, school pressures, incessant lessons, video games, malls, and competitive sports. We usually don't think of these influences as stressful for our kids, but often they are. The bustling pace of our children's lives can have a profound effect on their innate joy—and usually not for the better….

 

Yoga can help counter these pressures. When children learn techniques for self-health, relaxation, and inner fulfillment, they can navigate life's challenges with a little more ease. Yoga at an early age encourages self-esteem and body awareness with a physical activity that's noncompetitive. Fostering cooperation and compassion—instead of opposition—is a great gift to give our children.”

 

The article continues: “Yoga benefits children physically, enhancing their flexibility, strength, coordination and body awareness. In addition, their concentration and sense of calmness and relaxation improves. Doing yoga, children exercise, play, connect more deeply with the inner self, and develop an intimate relationship with the natural world that surrounds them. Yoga brings that marvelous inner light that all children have to the surface.”
