Why yoga? I’m glad you asked. Increased relaxation, less anxiety/tension, increased focus/attention, increased flexibility, increased self-esteem/belongingness, better sleep and digestion, improved self-regulation and awareness, just to name a few.  Truthfully, yoga benefits everyone.  Exceptional Yogis is focused on bringing yoga to children lving with:

Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)

ADD/ADHD

Sensory and Language Processing Disorders

Communication and behavior challenges

Anxiety

Depression

In addition to my yoga experience, I have worked in the classroom settings and have gained behavior management strategies that prove beneficial in my yoga sessions. They include positive reinforcement, token economy, first/then and visual schedules/timers. I modify each class to meet your child where he/she is emotionally, physically and cognitively.

My 30 minute 1:1 individual classes may include:

• Oral/motor imitation

• Identifying/labeling body parts

• Games

• Storytime

• Breath work

• Poses, or asanas

• Restorative poses

In addition to mats, bolsters and blankets, I incorporate other props that keep the sessions colorful and engaging. Scarves, shakers, stuffed animals, hula hoops...the list is endless!
