Yoga Therapy Ideas for Kids

Giselle · September 18, 2017 ·

Collection of Yoga Therapy Ideas for Kids - add yoga to your therapy sessions for strength, flexibility, and body awareness | Kids Yoga Stories

Are you looking for yoga therapy ideas? You might have already discovered the benefits of integrating yoga into your therapy sessions.

Integrating yoga into therapy sessions has been shown to increase:

  • strength and flexibility
  • body awareness, balance, and coordination
  • attention and behavioral regulation
  • cognitive skills and language development
  • social skills

As Claire and Lauren from The Inspired Treehouse say, “Teaching calming breathing and visualization techniques can empower all children – letting them know that they have tools they can use anytime and anywhere to calm their bodies and minds.”

We asked our expert readers to share their tips and tricks. Click on the links below to find ideas from a physical therapist, occupational therapist, and speech-language pathologist and see how they incorporate yoga into their therapy sessions. You’ll also read how yoga teachers teach yoga to children with autism and a hearing loss.

Welcome

Giselle Shardlow Profile Image Welcome to Kids Yoga Stories. To create the yoga books, yoga and breathing card decks, and yoga and mindfulness classroom resources, I draw from my experience as an international teacher, a world traveler, a certified yoga teacher, and a mom to a spirited child. I’ve been practicing yoga practically my whole life, and after I became a mom, I fell in love with the idea of sharing yoga and mindfulness with my daughter. Read more.
