I would recommend Michaels works to anyone within education, his yoga games areuncomplicated and the resources are first class! This book is user friendly, but alsoallows the reader to benefit from Michaels vast experience of not only teaching yoga,but successfully delivering within special educational needs settings. The games,sequences and postures within this book are suitable for both the beginner as well asexperienced professionals. - Ryan Jones, Assistant Headteacher at Treetops School,UKThis is a masterpiece of a book for those teaching Yoga to children anywhere on theautistic spectrum. Michael gives clear guidelines as to how to engage the childrensinterest while considering the individual conditions of autism with structure andconsistency. It works and is just brilliant. - Wendy Teasdill, Teacher Trainer for theBritish Wheel of Yoga
