WOW Yoga
Dynamic Theraphy Specialists is proud to offer our certified children's yoga program to children of all ages, skill levels and needs.Benefits of Yoga for Children
Children’s yoga has been proven to provide many physical, emotional and neurological benefits to children, especially children with speech, language and social challenges. For example, if a child struggles with motor planning and sequencing, yoga is a fun and noninvasive way for children to practice their motor development – often without even realizing they are practicing at all.
Many children with developmental disorders deal with anxiety. Because of this, many children have high-stress reactions even in seemingly low-stress situations. Through yoga, the brain can teach itself new ways to disengage the “fight or flight” response that often results from high anxiety and instead engage in a brain setting geared towards rest and self regulation. Learning this skill can be vital for children coping with anxiety or simply needing to find a way to relax their minds and regulate their bodies.

Neurological Benefits of Yoga for Children
Yoga can also help develop many neurological skills with significant importance to a child’s development.
One common difficulty for children with developmental disorders is crossing their midline – or bringing a limb from one side of their body to the other. This skill is important to develop early on as it allows for communication across the two sides of the brain. Yoga involves many poses and movements that will strengthen and develop the muscles needed when crossing the midline, all in a passive way that encourages the child to do the movement on their own rather than being “forced” by an adult.
