YOGA INSTRUCTIONS FOR PERSON WITH DETERMINATION
For individuals with determination or chronic health conditions, it is best to learn yoga from a certified yoga master or yoga instructor who has the experience and background knowledge in teaching with disabilities. In a yoga class for individuals with disabilities, yoga asana are modified or adapted, and may be performed with the instructor's active assistance as needed. Although the instructor assists the child in getting into and out of a posture, keep in mind that the child is still doing the "work." Children should start with one-to-one yoga instruction, then progress to group classes when the child is ready - and if it is the least restrictive environment for the child, as determined by the yoga instructor and parents.
