Yoga for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
Dion and Stacey Betts successfully used yoga to combat stress in their own hectic lives when they realized that yoga could also help their son Joshua, who suffered from ASD. They are both enthusiastic practitioners of yoga. The book offers a range of simple and fun yoga poses and breathing exercises that have a significant effect on increased levels of anxiety, disorientation, and tactile sensitivity, which are common in children diagnosed with ASD. The authors describe warm-up, strengthening, and calming exercises step by step, as well as exercises that relieve tension and are suitable for reducing coping mechanisms such as: clapping, increased muscle tension, muscle strength, and body awareness. They also present a whole range of shorter and longer sequences that can be easily adapted to meet the needs of a specific child.
