Using Yoga Therapy to Promote Mental Health in Children and Adolescents

Beschreibung

The book will outline a framework of clinical yoga therapy practice for mental health problems that addresses the whole child, rather than solely their symptoms. As such, collections of behaviors and clinical symptoms that have tended to co-occur in children will be discussed, illustrated with an index of all asanas, pranayamas, and other practices
