Review Quotes:
"While teaching my autistic high school students yoga, I was able to use many of the self-regulating activities from this book to help them gain a better understanding of their own 'just right' state. I found the mindfulness techniques easy to teach and use on a daily basis in my classroom as well as outdoors with my students. I highly recommend this book to any parent and/or teacher to support their SPED child in a way that will bring more balance and connect to the body." --Lisa Jansen, High School Autistic Teacher, Yoga Teacher-500 RYT
