Children with autism between the ages of four and seven are being invited to join an eight-week yoga series in Kamloops.
Seasons Health Therapies says they will be hosting the yoga series in their pediatric gym space every Wednesday in May and June from 3:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. starting May 8.
Each week, participants will be guided through a variety of activities, including yoga poses and games to enhance cross motor skills and mindfulness and breathing exercises for emotional regulation, calming the mind, focus and self-exploration.
According to Season Health Therapies, the series will include opportunities for sensory exploration, social interaction, teamwork, self-expression and reflection.
“This program aims to provide a fun and supportive environment to explore the numerous benefits of yoga,” the agency said in a statement.
Each sessions will be led a kinesiologist, yoga instructor and occupational therapist.
The cost to sign up for the series is $465 for all eight sessions.
