We spend time understanding yoga and sensory development. We offer a multi-sensory yoga approach to help children with sensory integration difficulties. We’ll be focusing specifically on the senses of touch, taste, sight, hearing, and smell. Additionally, we’ll incorporate our two hidden senses: proprioception and vestibular. Using asanas, breathing techniques, and visualization techniques, we aim to support the integration of internal and external stimuli in the body’s sensory processing system.

We’ll explore how to integrate yoga into your classroom in order to settle students down at the beginning of class, refocus them when their attention wavers, calm and centre them before assignments and tests, and build their confidence and self-regulation. You’ll learn about various yoga poses and exercises that can be used for each of these purposes, as well as how to incorporate them into your daily classroom routine.
