Teresa Power started on the yoga journey about 30 years ago. She needed a way to relax and unwind during law school. Today, she is an internationally renowned expert on children's yoga.

An author of the bestselling and award-winning book, The ABCs of Yoga for Kids, Teresa as beautiful illustrations in the book to help show kids the proper yoga poses, she also goes into detail on how yoga can assist with some childhood challenges, like autism, ADHD, obesity, stress and physical disabilities.

Setting out to write The ABCs of Yoga for Kids, Teresa's goal was to present parents and teachers with the opportunity to teach children the powerful discipline of yoga.

Yoga can help "kids with their focus and confidence in school because of their ability to hold a pose for a long period of time, and they're focusing on their breath and their whole body."

How can yoga help kids with autism and how are the two related?

"there's actually a recent study that said elementary kids with Autism Spectrum Disorder, who participate in a daily yoga program have reduced aggressive behavior, social withdrawal, and hyperactivity."
