Laura - Hamilton-5 Week Yoga Class for Tweens-Teens with Autism

Teens with ASD, ages 12-25 and their caregiver are invited to attend 5-weeks of private yoga classes in Hamilton at De La Sol Yoga in Hamilton.

A yoga practice yields a multitude of benefits for all who practice. Reduced stress, greater strength and flexibility, increased sense of peace, better sleep, and improved concentration and focus, to name just a few.

In addition to these benefits of a yoga practice, young people on the ASD spectrum will gain the further benefits of:

• Greater coping skills
• Improve motor skills
• Better sensory integration
• Tools for self-regulation

Join long-time Kids’ Yoga teacher, Heather Elson in a weekly practice which will include movement inspired by visual clues, breath work for self-soothing and focusing, guided relaxation, and mindful awareness games and activities.
