Training Description
Regardless of outwardly perceived limitations, each human being is uniquely adept at developing greater body awareness, physical and mental strength and an overall better sense of well being,  with practice.  

This course teaches you how to facilitate a group yoga program to naturally draw out individual strengths and to invite your participants to begin to reach their full potential. 

Learn how the practice of yoga can benefit students with a range of diagnoses and disorders such as ADHD, Autism, Sensory Processing Disorders, Anxiety and Stress disorders, Learning Disabilities, Cerebral Palsy and Downs Syndrome.

In this workshop you will learn:

• Accessible yoga poses that challenge participants just enough to invite them to grow and develop a sense of pride in their achievements.
• Techniques to manage group dynamics in a variety of settings amongst rapidly changing circumstances.
• Breathing exercises and relaxation guidelines to reduce stress.
• Modifications of postures, including chair postures which allow full participation of all students in a group.
• Effective techniques to encourage cooperation, build community and develop social skills within your group.
• Non threatening hands on assists to support your students.
• Special considerations when implementing yoga programs for people with special needs in your community.

While the focus of this training is on leading group classes for students age 13 and up, many of the ideas presented will apply in one on one sessions and when working with children with special needs as well.
