US Grade Kindergarten - 12
Important Note: CEFR: all levels Neurodiverse learners are welcome. Learner shall be cleared by his/her Physician to engage in the physical practice of Yoga. In all of my Yoga classes, proprioception and interoception will be further explored and cultivated. This class is perfect for learners -including special needs- who wish to cultivate self-understanding, awareness, self-love and release tensions at all levels, while learning skills to self-regulate as needed. Learner will enjoy this inclusive, triple bliss, private class designed to offer a nourishing break to re-center, energize body & mind, and then physically & mentally relax enjoying the fruits of the practice. Learner is carefully guided through a variety of progressively engaging Yoga poses. Poses are selected for their specific benefits. Class includes intentional breathing techniques, starting with the most cleansing and gradually leading into energizing, then relaxing ones, gifting your teenager with a sense of relief, an oxygenated body & mind, and a deep state of relaxation to harmonize all the layers of their being, their body systems (especially the muscular, respiratory and nervous). Teaching style is kind, mindful, descriptive of the practices in age-appropriate language, and it will adapt to your learner's needs. Classes may vary from light, gentle, gentle-energizing, and restorative. The interaction is calm and mindful. There is no pre-requisite for this class. Safety First: Learner shall be cleared by his/her Physician to engage in the physical practice of Yoga. By registering Learner in this class, Guardian/Parent(s) acknowledge(s) they understand there are always risks in any physical program, assume(s) all risks, and waive(s) any rights to file any claim against the instructor in regards to Learner's participation in class. Variations are provided and the use of props is explained as needed; poses are held for about 3 breaths, moving at a mindful pace, with positive affirmations that maintain or restore their sense of self-esteem and wellbeing. Learners who find they benefit from the practice, may continue taking the class, as each week there will be a familiar structure with individualized different poses, breaths and meditations. Namaste.
Learning Goals
