A Somatosensory Approach to Mental, Emotional and Physical Wellbeing
This is a comprehensive and inclusive guide that explores how yoga therapy can be practiced with children and teens with complex needs and conditions including autism and other neuro differences, trauma, depression, anxiety, and Down syndrome. It includes comprehensive theory on child development as well as practical tools and resources.

This deeply compassionate and inclusive resource explores the practice of yoga therapy, mindfulness, and somatic enquiry with children and young people who have complex needs. Suitable for working with ages 5-18, the book explores a wide range of conditions - including sensory processing disorder, autism, Down syndrome, hypermobility, scoliosis, anxiety, depression, and trauma.

Chapters also include comprehensive theory on the nervous system, child development from the age of 3+, the benefits of expressive arts, and regular reflective prompts for the adults. It is supplemented with over 100 photographs to ease learning and is an invaluable resource for therapists working with children and teens with complex needs.
