Yoga has been widely recognized throughout the USA and the United Kingdom as one of the fundamental pre-requisites for special needs children including:
a) Children who are in motor developmental therapy for: 

• gross or fine motor skills
• high / low muscle tone
• sensory integration

b) Children with ADD or ADHD
c) Children with Downs Syndrome, Cerebral Pals or Autism

• Too much or too little energy 
• Poor nutrition & problems with weight
• Depression & anxiety 
• Inability to express or free emotions 
• Poor posture
• Over stimulation (not having the necessary skills to “shut off”)
• High sensitivity levels 
• Constant pressure to compete & perform 
• Low muscle tone 
• High stress levels which result in low attention spans and decreased concentration & social skills
