The interventions and rehabilitation methods to empower the differently-abled may turn futile if learning is not made fun for children. This is because our senses are able to grasp more if the lessons are interesting, and are imparted through visuals. 

Yoga therapy addresses the learning and developmental limitations in people with special needs. It is generally used for addressing such challenges like Autism, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Sensory Processing Disorders. This therapy has several physiological, cognitive, socio-emotional and sensory-motor benefits.

Yoga therapy may go hand-in-hand with physiotherapy, speech therapy and occupational therapy to address specific disorders.

It demonstrates poses, breathing techniques and meditation to facilitate attention, relaxation and focus.

(1). Anulom Vilom Pranayam: It follows an alternate nostril breathing method. It keeps us calm, and enhances memory and concentration. It is effective in ADHD.

(2). Bhramri Pranayam: It is effective in soothing nerves when facing behavioural problems like anxiety and restlessness. Invariably, it helps increase attention span, motor co-ordination and the capacity of learning and acting on instructions. This works wonders to cure ADHD and enable sensory processing in autistic kids.

(3). Meditation: It is mostly effective in curing ADHD by enhancing concentration.

(4). Chakrasana Wheel pose): It improves the body stance. Dhanurasana (Bow pose) also has the same purpose.

(5). Sarvangasana (Shoulder stand pose): This improves the circulation of blood and oxygen through our brain.

Yoga is one of the commonest forms of complementary and alternative medicine therapies, which is increasingly being practiced worldwide. It is an ancient Indian practice with its roots in Hindu religion based on the principles of mind-body medicine. The word “yoga” comes from the Sanskrit “yuj,” meaning “yoke” or “union.”

The three essential elements of yoga are: asanas (postures), pranayama (breathing exercises), and dhyana (meditation). These three components are practiced through multiple steps comprising of yama (moral codes, self-control), niyama (self-purification and process for maintaining morality), asana (posture), pranayama, (breath control), pratyahara (governing sense), dharana (concentration), dhyana (meditation), and samadhi (supreme contemplation and meditation).

Yoga has been used to treat a variety of body ailments including neurological and psychiatric disorders. Multiple studies have documented the beneficial effects of yoga suggesting numerous mechanisms of its action.

(1). The asanas are the aerobic component and may stimulate the central nervous system release of endorphins, monoamines, and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in the hippocampus.

(2). The pranayama and dhyana (meditation) components may regulate the emotional responses by reducing the sympathetic and increasing the parasympathetic tone and improve the cognitive functioning by increasing the EEG synchrony and coherence. An increase in melatonin and decrease in cortisol have been associated with the meditative component of yoga. A rise in melatonin promotes sleep, stimulates immune system and reduces blood pressure. Numerous studies have found a positive correlation between levels of cortisol, negative effects, and depression.

Though the studies are limited by their sample sizes and methodology discrepancies, yoga has shown benefit for an array of neuropsychiatric disorders.
