Program Information:
Participants will start each day by deepening their own Yoga practice with a Meditation and Hatha Yoga Class led by Sonia Sumar or other certified yoga instructor assisting Sonia during the program. Â After an introductory discussion on teaching Hatha Yoga to children with Special needs, 4 hands on training sessions with children with Autism and/or ADHD follow. Â Each class ends with a group discussion and question and answer period about the techniques learned, the appropriate yoga routine and what stage the child is in.
​
This three day program runs from 8am to 4pm the first 2 days and ends at 1:00pm on the third day.
We will be working with children (any age) who have ADHD or Autism. Please contact the program coordinator if you have a child or a client that would like to participate in our Program as a Demonstration. Sonia will be working with 4 children per day: two in the morning and two in the afternoon. We appreciate your help in bringing demos in as they are the highlights of our Programs.
