Practicing yoga involves being calm and focussed and having heightened awareness of the body's functions and movements. For children with sensory processing needs – who either have low sensory thresholds and are overwhelmed by sensory stimulation, or have high thresholds and do not register stimulation – yoga can be hugely beneficial. This book presents easy-to-follow basic postures and sequences for children of different ages and which can be easily adapted for adults. Nicole Cuomo gives practical advice for how to choose appropriate sequences according to the child's particular needs and mood, knowing that yoga will be most beneficial when it is fun! She also includes photographs of each posture to supplement her descriptions. This practical book provides a wealth of ideas for therapists, educators and parents to help their children with sensory processing needs.
Introduction.; 1. What is Yoga?; 2. Sensory Integration - a brief overview.; 3. How can yoga and Sensory Integration work together?; 4. Yoga practice and age groups.; 5. Basic postures - suggestions for age groups/sensory input.; 6. Integration of the practices.
If you've tried all sorts of weights and brushes and games and exercises and equipment to calm or stimulate your child with sensory integration dysfunction, here's something new to add to the list: yoga.. In clear how-to-text and helpful photos, occupational therapist Cuomo shows you how to do some basic yoga poses, tailor them to your child's age and sensory needs, and expand them into related enrichment projects. Give it a try, and you may find that the calming and centering rubs off on you, too.
