With Parent Support Group
Saturday, March 13, 2010 11am-12:30pm
- Yoga with the kids
Join us for an exciting yoga workshop for children 6 to 10 years old who have attended STAR Level 2 groups or have been diagnosed with High Functioning Autism or Asperger’s Syndrome.
Kids will participate in a 1-hour yoga workshop exploring movement, learning yoga poses, and interacting with peers. The group will be facilitated by a certified yoga instructor with additional behavioral aides for a 1:2 staffing ratio. During this time, parents will participate in a mindfulness-based support group. This group will combine basic breathing and beginning meditation practices for relaxing and coming back to the present moment. These practices have been found to reduce stress responses and increase our ability to calm our body and mind. Meditation practices will be combined with an opportunity to discuss parenting stressors, self-care, and causes of challenging child behaviors with a licensed Clinical Psychologist and other parents of children diagnosed with High Functioning Autism or Asperger’s Syndrome.
At the conclusion of the two workshops, parents will join the kids for a showcase of yoga and healthy snacks. This introductory workshop is part of a new series that will be offered for 4 sessions throughout March and April.
