Yoga for the Twice Exceptional

All of our kids, especially twice-exceptional kids, grow up with stress and trauma, which can lead to underperformance, to school refusal, and even, with older children, to dropping out of school. Over the years, many adults have turned to yoga and mindfulness as ways to deal with stress and trauma. Could that work for children? And for children in the classroom?

For Louise Goldberg, founder of Creative Relaxation, the answer to those questions is a definite yes. She has been teaching yoga to kids of diverse ages and challenges since 1982 and is the author of two books on the topic. She is a certified yoga therapist and holds a master’s degree in reading education. In addition, Goldberg leads trainings for educators and therapists internationally and is the owner of the Yoga Center of Deerfield Beach, Florida.
