Programs

We offer one-to-one sessions for youth, adults, and parents/caregivers based on the YogAutism™ 5-part Recipe:

1. Build a steady foundation by releasing tension through grounding techniques such as foot massages, standing yoga poses, and child’s pose—creating a sense of safety and stability when facing new or challenging situations.

2. Activate and gently stretch important muscles like the psoas and diaphragm, which work together to support posture and deep, relaxed breathing—key for comfort and overall well-being. Movements such as knees-to-chest stretches and lunges help awaken these muscles and support ease in daily life.

3. Promote openness in the chest, shoulders, and upper back through gentle twisting and heart-opening movements. These practices make breathing easier and help reduce the physical tension that often builds up from stress or sensory overwhelm.

4. Reset shoulder alignment with targeted stretches and gentle movements designed to release tension from muscles that tend to get “locked” in a forward position. This helps improve posture, reduce stiffness, and create more space in the chest and back, supporting freer and more comfortable breathing.

5. Learn focused breathing exercises that encourage slow, deep breaths to reduce stress and anxiety. These practices support emotional regulation by fostering a sense of safety and connection with the body and surroundings. Over time, mindful breathing can calm the nervous system, build resilience, and enhance self-soothing during overwhelming moments.

Our trained professionals understand bodily limitations and capabilities change and therefore factor that in when designing the session for that day.  Typical sessions are hands-on but touch-free modifications are always available. The practice sequence can, and will, be modified and adapted for the student's needs on any given day. Sessions usually take 45 minutes to an hour.
