Marie Farthing, Specialised Yoga & Therapeutic Services

CHILDREN’S SPECIALISED YOGA! 💖Asanas for all Abilities 💖 http://www.mariefarthing.com My little yogis (who have autism and/or ADHD & other special needs) tell me that they love yoga! Their parents love it too. There are so many amazing benefits!
Studies show yoga is beneficial for kids with special needs. When practiced regularly yoga can increase relaxation and lower stress; improve self-esteem and provide a sense of belongingness in the group setting; increase focus an...d attention; reduce behavioural issues .... just to name a few!
How? Yoga teaches kids self-regulation it helps them manage their emotions and develops body awareness.

M I N D F U L N E S S 😌 all kids can benefit from practicing mindfulness! 💖Asanas for all Abilities💖 specialised yoga program for children with autism and special needs incorporates mindfulness as a technique to teach children how to become more focused, calm, in control and self-aware. When practicing mindfulness, over time, children can learn to become more aware of their thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations and the environment around them. Being present to what is happening right now, allows them to recenter, feel more grounded and secure. #yogaadhd #yogaautism #autism #adhd #childrenautism #sutherlandshire #kidsyoga #yogaspecialneeds

My little yogis love using this hoberman sphere for breathwork. It helps guide their breath in and out in a controlled manner regulating their emotional state. I picked it up from a discount store in Gymea for $5! Great investment 😁#childrenautism #childrenyoga #kidsspecialneeds #aspectschoolforautism #yogaforadhd #sutherlandshire #specialolympics #sutherlandshireautism

😬 WORRYING 😖 can be a big issue for children with sensory processing difficulties. “I hate worries” - 7 year old boy with ASD & ADHD. As part of our 1:1 session last night we made worry bags. Inside the bags are drawings of his worries. My young client also labeled some with words to describe them. Others he could draw but wasn’t sure how to articulate them. He went home with some personalised “go away worries” spray that I made with lavender oil. He is very sensitive to smells but said “actually that smells really nice!”. Next week we will unpack some of his worries. This week they are safely contained inside his worry bag 💼 lightening his load. #childrenautism #sutherlandshireautism #sutherlandshire #specialneedschildren #yogaforautism #yogaforautismawareness #yogaforautismandspecialneeds#anxietyreli ef #childrenanxiety

Happy international Yoga Day 2018!

I really wanted my twins, autism spectrum, to attend yoga but I knew that they couldn’t attend a mainstream class.... all the skills yoga teaches like calmness, how to deal with anxiety, core strength and balance are so valuable in helping autism... so when I heard about Marie I was thrilled.... we started last term and the twins were super excited to go .... Marie provided a

Social story prior to our first session .... my kids usually take a

while to get into things but by the second lesson they were just as keen to go and even remembered the ohm song ... by the last lesson of the term they were doing lots of the poses, some even without my help.... Marie is AMAZING ... she is calm, kind, motivating and provides endless tools to help the kids, including weighted blankets, toys, books and each lesson has a different game ... my kids LOVE toe yoga!!!!!

I can’t recommend Marie enough and am so thankful that my dream of yoga for my twins is now a reality ��
