Your child knows they need support, but they’re convinced so many things are wrong with them. They are anxious about school, friends, making decisions, and pretty much anything and everything. All this anxiety keeps them from enjoying just being a kid. They are always comparing themselves to others, saying they aren’t good enough or that they’re a failure. They put so much pressure on themselves to just fit in! You know they need a group setting to realize that other kids are just like them and this group will offer that.

Children with ADHD and Autism often struggle with negative and judgmental thoughts when comparing their abilities to their peers. Yoga can help increase self-esteem and confidence. In addition, yoga incorporated with meditation and mindfulness can boost self-esteem and lower stress levels. While engaging in various balance poses, children are able to increase their attention and focus. Yoga has been shown to help improve symptoms of ADHD, Autism by increasing dopamine levels and strengthening the prefrontal cortex. In group settings, yoga can also increase social skills. This is a great way to incorporate mind and body approaches to improving symptoms of ADHD and Autism.
