Breaking down yoga instruction pose by pose, body part by body part, breath by breath, this book uses easy-to-understand language and clear photographs to show parents, teachers, yoga instructors, and other professionals how to introduce the life-long benefits of yoga to a child with special needs. These benefits include gaining greater awareness and understanding of the body, learning to self-regulate the nervous system, and developing coping skills to work through difficult emotions such as anger and anxiety. Creative yoga games, activities, relaxation exercises, and chair yoga poses are included to make learning yoga a fun, interactive, and calming experience for children with a wide range of abilities.
From its origin beginning over 5000 years ago, the philosophy of Yga was always taught through the tradition parampar (oral transmission of knowledge). While the student and Instructor must be self-dependent in their practice and study, the philosophy of Yga is learned personally with an authorized Instructor, Professor or Master. It is recommended that the body techniques illustrated in this book be learned personally with a qualified Instructor. Fortunately, the Internet has made that possible for even the most remote students.
