In searching for a way to work with a child in the autism spectrum, I stumbled on this book, and was immediately drawn to it, since I have done yoga myself. After reviewing the book online, I tried this with a group of autistic students. They immediately loved the simplified/adapted movements, poses and breathing exercises.
I would recommend this to a parent/teacher or therapist who is working with autistic children/teens.

My brother has autism. We all try yoga together. He a little slower at it, but my mom says it relaxes him. I'd like to meet the kid in the book. He looks like he is about my age. I think you would like the book. It has a lot of pictures.

Goodbye,

Jason

I LOVE this book! I am a yoga teacher interested in teaching children with Autism Spectrum Disorder. I think I highlighted most of this book, that is how informative and useful it was. Awesome for parents too.

I do not feel that this book offers enough guidance to form an effective program that would meet the needs of individual children. The author feels that the program that she has developed for her child is helpful and I have no reason to think that this is not true for her child.
