Special kids love yoga
Library program a surprising success
Yoga has become very popular in recent years, but does it work for youngsters with special needs, including attention deficit disorder?
"Believe me, the idea does raise some questions," said Elsie Jimenez-Echevarria, a North Bergen resident who is a yoga instructor with the Center for Holistic Intervention. "People say, 'No way.' They think it's too much and that the kids are over-stimulated."
However, if those skeptics witnessed the eight-week program for special needs children that was recently completed at the North Bergen Free Public Library, they would have been blown away.
