November 13-14, 2015 - Paris, France- INFANT PARENT DISTURBANCE: THEORY AND THERAPY

October 12, 2015 - Yoga and Mindfulness for Children and Adolescents: Tools for Anxiety and Trauma (ASHA Credit Workshop; 6.5 professional development hours)
When: October 12, 2015 (9am – 5pm); Where: Adria Hotel & Conference Center; 221-17 Northern Blvd, Bayside, NY 11361

In this workshop, you will receive an introduction to integrating modalities of yoga and mindfulness practices into your work with children and adolescents who experience anxiety and trauma - on and off the yoga mat and even in a chair! Discussion and overview of various processes of the brain will lend insight into how you can best support the successes and gains in children. You will learn numerous effective, fun and developmentally appropriate activities that you can offer to children who struggle with emotional self-regulation, self-awareness, focusing and impulse control. No prior knowledge or practice experience of yoga or mindfulness is required to benefit from this workshop.
 
Learning Objectives: 1)Develop an understanding of the brain-body connection: how children and adolescents experience trauma and anxiety from a developmental, psychological and physical perspective; 2) Identify the common symptomatology and skills deficits present in children and adolescents who have experienced trauma and anxiety; 3) Describe the benefits of yoga and mindfulness with youth, and learn specific strategies and skills to address specific needs; 4)  Develop an understanding of guidelines and setting the stage for implementing yoga and mindfulness; 5) Develop a toolbox of possible interventions and strategies to help children: reduce anxiety; enhance focus, attention, self-awareness, self-regulation, sense of embodiment and connection to self and others; learn effective ways to calm their central nervous system and manage stressors.
