With this project, my kids will learn the fundamentals of yoga and will utilize the strategies in order to help with self-regulation, behaviors, mindfulness, and core/upper body strength. With these strategies, my students will be able to improve their functioning in the learning environment to help them become as independent as possible. Yoga is helpful with improving children who have deficits to improve strength, regulation, and behaviors. These students will be given techniques to even help them with anxiety and stress within the learning environment. Yoga has many evidence-based research with yoga and kids. This is a great way to benefit and improve the child and their needs. Yoga benefits are very therapeutic and will start off each session as the foundation. After engaging in yoga, We will conduct various activities that focuses on strengthening of upper body strength and improving fine motor skills according to each student's needs. Strengthening upper body strength and improving fine motor skills will help my students with special needs to improve their functioning within the classroom and within the learning environment. Some activities that will be incorporated for upper body strengthening and fine motor activities will be writing, coloring, glueing and cutting appropriately. Also strengthening with therabands help with posture and maintaining participation to task longer. These are some of the examples of activities to help with my student's needs. Sensory activities also improve with my student's participation in class and maintaining self-regulation to reduce behaviors related to the student's unique sensory deficits.
