Happy HeARTs Yoga®

Our Intention - Nurturing Wellness and Learning through Movement, Art and Joy

Our Mission - Spreading the understanding, knowledge, and applied practice of yoga and creativity as a whole person strategy to integrate and advance the wellness and educational abilities of children, especially those living with ASD.

Yoga is a natural integrated movement system helping all body & mind functions. Through breathing techniques, varied movements & animated postures, children can become aware of their body and their sensory system. They learn naturally how to relax and respond appropriately during new experiences, reducing tension and anxiety. As they experience yoga, they realize better balance, confidence, improved fitness, better focus, and feel more able to adapt to life situations.

Happy HeARTs Yoga® is an outreach of HeARTs for Autism ® . We are an insured education based business registered in PA serving children, families, schools and community centers, promoting the benefits of Yoga as a strategy for improving Body and Mind capabilities for all children, especially children on the Autism Spectrum.

" I'm learning to breathe better!" ~ Jake, age 10

"Thank you! I love doing yoga! My brain and body feel better!" ~ Sean, age 8

"Karate is cool, but Yoga really does make me focus better and I have more self control" ~ James, age 11

"Well, I thought I was coming to help my son, but I find i am the one really enjoying and learning from the Yoga. Thank you!"~ Maya, Spectrum mom

"Wow! I cannot believe how the kids and moms changed during these classes. You can actually see the stress melt off of them week after week!" ~ Crystal, Kid Fit Factory manager

Since launching HeARTs for Autism® in 2005, movement arts have been a key part of the monthly recreational programs. An adaptive yoga program was introduced for the Spectrum kids, siblings and friends using story, movement and art to create a multi sensory learning and interactive experience.

Along with training and certification in children's yoga and drawing on experience from various classes with children, Happy HeARTs Yoga® was born.

Families have reported many of the kids practice at home...others use the breathing techniques...and in a few special cases, kids are using language in greater ways. Studies do show that yoga is a strategy that can enhance brain function, while improving body balance and strength.
