Yoga for the Special Child® 2012 Programs

"An excellent therapeutic program--clear, comprehensive, and compassionate. I was
particularly impressed by the profound transformation in Sonia's Students, which
came as a direct result of their practicing Yoga."
-Dean Ornish, M.D., author of Dr. Dean Ornish's Program for Reversing Heart Disease
Yoga for the Special Child®, LLC Program
This multi-level program is taught by Sonia Sumar. Designed for parents and their
children, Yoga teachers, educators and health care professionals, it provides the
basic tools for teaching Yoga to children with special needs. Using hands-on and
video instruction, Ms. Sumar guides participants through each of the successive stages
in the special child's development - from infancy through adolescence. Topics include:
choosing the most effective Yoga routine; creating the optimum home and classroom
environment; and working with different syndromes and disorders.
