What therapy is offered:
HOLISTIC YOGA FOR CHILDREN WITH ADDITIONAL NEEDS
In these sessions children will have time to connect with themselves, encouraging self esteem and breath awareness. Aiming to build strength and flexibility while letting go of stress/anxiety.
Stefan and Melinda’s holistic approach creates a comfortable and calm space in which children can explore their full potential. The sessions promote the development of concentration and self-empowerment, while addressing any physical, mental and emotional imbalances. The goal throughout is for each child to experience a sense of true peace and relaxation while establishing a strong connection with their heart. Stefan also strives to educate parents on techniques that they can use at home while also giving them the opportunity for a moment of rest themselves.
A combination of any of the following are integrated into the sessions with whatever necessary adjustments made according to the child's presentation:
- Breathing exercises
- Sound exercises
- Sensory exercises
- Physical exercises
- Massage
- Dance
- Song
- Music
- Art
- Guided meditation & mindfulness exercises

Who: All children with any additional needs are welcome to attend, plus parent.
