Yoga is A Hindu discipline practice aimed at training the consciousness for a state of perfect spiritual insight and tranquillity. It is known to help people through stress, anxiety, muscle recovery, endurance, and improvement in strength and posture. Recently, yoga has been found to help people with special needs. Specialists improve their breathing, hand and eye coordination and creating less pain in their limbs, imagine that!
One of my friend’s from home has a sister that has a disability and is stuck in her wheel chair for the rest of her life. Her family has always wanted to get her involved in anything possible that would make her feel like she was doing activities that are benefiting her life. Joan Cary, has provided me with this information that yoga is an upcoming beneficial reward to people with special needs. In her article, she tells a story about a 18 year old , Erin Feeney, who has never been able to blow out a candle in her life. That’s pretty heartbreaking isn’t it? She then goes on talking about how she has been doing yoga with a personal yoga specialist the past year. At the end of the story, Erin Feeney, was turning 19 years old. She went to blow out her candles and was able to blow out one candle! This was a huge accomplishment for her and she had never felt so happy in her entire life.
Yoga has helped improved Erin’s life but many others as well. You can now find more information on www.specialyoga.com, which is an international program designed to help babies , children and adults with special needs to learn and practice yoga. The statistics of yoga benefits for special needed people is increasing in numbers. It is becoming more popular within the communities and there are many people who are becoming specialists in this area.
This information is useful to any family or friends that know of a person with special needs and can refer them to a specialist by going to the website provided above.
