This program is designed to benefit kids will all varieties of special needs. Therapeutic Yoga will increase self-esteem, improve physical well-being, and encourage social growth in children with special needs, including but not limited to children diagnosed with ADHD, Asperger's, SI, anxiety, depression, or LDs. Therapeutic Yoga classes are generally taught by two kids yoga teachers, one of whom is a licensed clinical social worker, and all have extensive yoga teacher training and experience, as well specific training in using yoga therapeutically with children. Many of the techniques used in this therapeutic yoga class are based on the principles of Integrated Movement TherapyTM (IMT) as created by Molly Kenny. Please see www.samaryacenter.org for more information on IMT. Classes are by application only and an intake meeting will be required. Intake sessions generally last 1/2 hour and are run by one of the therapeutic yoga teachers. Intake sessions are $25. During the session, parents will fill out an application while the potential student has a short yoga session, including relaxation, with the teacher. Parents and teacher will then discuss the child's readiness for the therapeutic class. Most classes will have a maximum of 5 children per class, in order to give specialized attention to each child. Classes are offered by session, each session is normally 8-13 weeks long, with the exception of a shorter summer session. Please call or email the studio to schedule an intake meeting. info@buddingyogis.com - 202-686-1104. |
