Buehler, for posing for the photographs in this book. 6 Introduction TheideaforIntegratedYogacametomeafteryearsofpracticeasanoccu- pationaltherapistandyogapractitioner.Ihaveworkedwithavarietyof children and adults with different sensory systems and through this came to understand that my own sensory system fluctuated and that I needed to vary my yoga practice in order to stay focused and present. Therearesomanywonderfulbooksonbothyogaandsensoryintegra- tionitjustdidnotmakesensetoreinventthewheel,sothisbookgivesa brief introduction to both topics and, importantly, how they are com- plementary to each other. I offer suggestions for practice with children and these concepts can also be adapted for use with adults. This book is not intended to be a sensory integration treatment book, that takes the place of working with a qualified professional therapist, butratherasanenhancementtotreatment.Asalltherapistsandparents knowthereisnocookbookforworkingwithchildren,onlyguidelines that have to be tweaked so that the fit is perfect. Approach the subject with an open heart and an open mind, and don’t forget to breathe. Peace, Nicole 7
