Global Yoga Therapy Day

Today is #GlobalYogaTherapyDay! Did you know Cook Children’s now offers Pediatric Yoga Therapy Services?

Pediatric Yoga Therapists Gina Shelton and Stacy Bush recently joined the Cook Children’s Pain Management team to lead yoga therapy classes and individual consults throughout the medical center, Inpatient Psychiatry Unit and Partial Hospitalization Program.

“The main thing we teach is that your breath can change how you feel, then movement calms your nervous system. Our modern culture often forgets that our bodies are made to move, not sit still all day,” Shelton said. “And we also talk to them about their brains and how they work. So they get a little more awareness of themselves and how their brain, emotions, and body are interconnected.”
