Seeking recommendation on a Yoga provider for a kid with SN in Rockville

[Anonymous]

Hi - were recommended to do yoga by our occupational therapist for my son who is 7 and has ASD. I am having hard time finding a yoga studio with children's class. Does anyone have any recommendation? We live in Rockville, MD.

Thanks in advance for your help!

During the summer most offer camps vs classes.

I would NOT recommend Simon Says however. I called weeks ago and spoke to someone to see if they would accept a 1:1 for the camp. I said I understood if they didn't. The person said that they needed to talk to their boss but I never heard back. So I assume the answer is no.

Thrive often offers specialty classes, and does put the occasional class for tweens and teens on their schedule. I suggest giving them a call. It is a great studio.

Not a class, but you might also want to look into kids' yoga DVDs. That's what we did for our child with ADHD.

I believe Circle Yoga in Chevy Chase/DC has classes for all age groups

Check out Opus Yoga in Gaithersburg! Call or email Sharon who is the owner.
There are some teachers who work with kids.

Are you open to individual classes? Kelly Hanns, a PT who works at EIA in Rockville does this but at the client's house, not in a studio.

They're doing camps now not classes.

OP. I have a SN 8 yr old, live in CC and are interested in SN's Yoga. If you find a provider who is interested in forming a small class we would be interested. Please post here.

Not OP but do you have any recommendations? I'd love to pick up a few to do with DS and I don't want to feel gipped by a crummy one.

The way their kid yoga is done (alternating classes by age when the classes are already something like once a month) there is no way anybody can get anything out of it. Once every two months? Sure, great idea.

We really like cosmic kids yoga on youtube, if you can't find a class.

WTF are you babbling about I asked if my kid could participate in the camp and was blown off. So I wouldn't recommend these ah*les for kids with SNs.

We had some of the yoga kids dvds (that's the name of the series -- yoga kids). They are okay, but geared more towards preschoolers through K, I think. We used to be able to get the Sportskool yoga for free on demand and we really all liked their Tween yoga classes -- it was a teenage instructor and the kids in the class were about 10-12, so it was attractive to my younger kids (who love those older kids) and to my older E.S. kids. Also, they were short routines -- like 10 minutes a class -- so very do-able for my short attention span kids. Sometimes we would do 2 or 3 in a row, but it was fine if we just did 1. You might be able to get those for pay someplace now.
