Social Skills and Yoga (KidzYOGA) ages 7-10
Children with ADHD and Autism often struggle with negative and judgmental thoughts when comparing their abilities to their peers. Yoga can help increase self-esteem and confidence. In addition, yoga incorporated with meditation and mindfulness can boost self-esteem and lower stress levels. While engaging in various balance poses, children are able to increase their attention and focus. Yoga has been shown to help improve symptoms of ADHD, Autism by increasing dopamine levels and strengthening the prefrontal cortex. In group settings, yoga can also increase social skills. This is a great way to incorporate mind and body approaches to improving symptoms of ADHD and Autism.
