| G.A.M.E. Yoga Gifts and Miracles Everyday Free Yoga For Children With Special Needs |
WHY YOGA FOR SPECIAL NEEDS CHILDREN? We hear all the time about the benefits of yoga. Doctors, fitness experts, and celebrities are all supporters of yoga as part of a healthy lifestyle. There is no disputing the benefits that one can receive from adding yoga to their life, but what about the child with special needs. Are you a parent of a child with special needs? Are you looking for a tool to help your child? Is yoga a reality for your child with special needs? Yes, it is. The benefits of yoga for the child with special needs are endless. There are the emotional benefits seen in the self esteem that a child will gain with yoga. The social connection made with the yoga teacher (you the parent or one of our certified teachers) to help foster critical social skills. Then there is the physical benefit you will see in your child. Many of our children suffer from gross and fine motor delays, low tone, hyper tone, and sensory issues. Yoga can help establish that key core strength that our children so desperately need to grow stronger and more stable muscles. Let’s also not forget the benefits of teaching our children how to have a calm mind and body. Many of our children suffer from frenetic minds. The breathing exercises and visualization techniques can help our children learn to relieve stress, learn coping skills and build acceptance. For many of you out there having a private yoga teacher for your child seems like a fantasy. For many of you there is no yoga available to you in your community; or maybe with all the medical expenses there isn’t anything left over for private yoga. G.A.M.E. yoga can help you with all of your obstacles. In the future it is our goal to provide online yoga instruction for FREE and we will provide free yoga classes in select cities. Right now Jennifer is teaching free yoga to children in Los Angeles & Santa Monica. In addition we will help provide yoga materials to those who can’t afford them. If anyone wants to donate their time to teach or has a space that can be used please let us know. The possibilities are endless when it comes to the benefit that yoga can bring to your special child. Remember our children are not DISABLED they are DIFFERENTLY ABLED.
