Integrated Yoga

Yoga with a Sensory Integrative Approach

Nicole Cuomo

Practising yoga creates a sense of calm and focus and heightens awareness of the body's functions and movements. For children with sensory processing difficulties - because they either have low sensory thresholds and are overwhelmed by sensory stimulation, or because they have high thresholds and do not register stimulation - yoga can be hugely beneficial.

His gait was that of a confident man... He beamed with pride as I went on and on about how differently he presented himself. It shook me up!"
