Adaptive Minds / The YOGA Method
YOGA in Action
The YOGA method is woven into each lesson. These four principles keep movement flexible, participant-led, and accessible.

There is no single correct pose. A child may choose a seated, supported, standing, or different version, and may watch, pause, change, or decline.

Observe & Offer
Notice comfort, communication, sensory responses, and what the child chooses before offering another option. Use those observations to guide what happens next.

Guide with Flexibility
Model, gesture, describe, or offer visual and communication supports. Follow the child’s response rather than insisting on one way to do the movement.
