yoga and autism

Yoga is a wonderful activity to connect body and mind, and is also great for overall health and wellbeing. Yoga is a great option for taking care of ourselves, because it has such a wide range of styles and levels. You have everything from gentle breathing to hard-core postures. It is almost like autism: so many people on the spectrum, and the spectrum is massive so almost no two people are the same. Yoga is also an excellent activity for varying ability levels, and can be practised to the level that suits a particular person.
