What does this course entail?
This weekly yoga class for autistic young women provides a supportive and nurturing practice and environment that enhances physical, emotional, and mental well-being. It helps improve motor skills, coordination, and body awareness while providing effective tools for managing anxiety and stress and improving sleep patterns through calming breathing techniques and mindfulness.
Also, by fostering a sense of routine and predictability, yoga creates a safe space for developing better emotional regulation and self-esteem.
The non-competitive and inclusive nature of yoga promotes social connection, enabling young women to engage in a shared activity that supports their overall development and sense of community and belonging.
