Yoga for Adults with Special Needs
Yoga and Mindfulness Supporting Adults with Learning Disabilities
Adults with special needs and limitations can greatly benefit from yoga. When they become familiar with the yoga poses, some can practice the postures by themselves, whether it would be to instil relaxation or build a sense of self–control when they feel anxious, tired or frustrated.
For adults with special needs or developmental disabilities, yoga can have positive benefits on their physical and mental health and well-being, including increased strength, balance, flexibility and stamina, it helps to decrease stress and anxiety and improves mental and physical health.
The Yoga sessions are adapted for any level of ability or mobility and are tailored to the individual’s needs.
A typical session can include:
- Gentle Yoga Postures
- Chair Yoga
- Deep Relaxation and Mindful Meditation Practices
- Breathing Techniques
Sessions will be on or Zoom
I offer 1 to 1 and group sessions.
