In this specialised training we will concentrate on creative ways to teach children how to release stress, relax, stretch, energize, and focus while taking into consideration their unique needs, whether they are physical, social, mental or emotional.
Learn to teach the youngest yogis and those with emotional and mental challenges techniques to assist them with impulse control and self-regulation.
This course provides a foundation to promote the healthy development of the hearts, bodies and minds of individuals living with ADHD, Autism, Down Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, Sensory Processing Difficulties and much more.
In Rainbow Yoga we expand our hearts and minds to include all those around us and the feeling is often empowering for students, families and teachers alike.
Children with additional needs have much need for connection and unfortunately, they often get fewer opportunities to fulfill this need.
They may be in relative isolation or in environments (Including hospitals and centres) that are more sterile and provide less opportunity for connection. Or a child may have a condition that makes verbal communication challenging, working with the elements of conscious touch and human connection is even more important, more transformative, and more healing than anywhere else.
Mobility increases circulation, improves digestion, strengthen muscle tone, enhances positive moods, general health and wellbeing and our connection to the environment.
Rainbow Yoga is a great tool to help children with additional need to reach their full potential of physical movement and social interaction.
