special yoga for children with additional needs.

Special Yoga is a practice developed by Jyoti Jo Manuel of the Special Yoga Foundation for children with additional needs. The practice works to improve concentration, increase strength and flexibility, bring balance to the nervous system and ultimately to cultivate inner peace and calm in the child. Using a combination of classical yoga, breath work, sound, massage, rhythm and deep relaxation techniques, this beautiful practice has the ability to bring positive physical and emotional change whilst providing a practice and toolkit for wellbeing for life.

My training with Jyoti is amongst the most life changing that I have experienced and was my first introduction to real heart centred yoga. It affected the way I practiced and shared yoga with everyone, not only children. Special Yoga feels like yoga in it’s purest and most authentic form. To witness the effects of this practice on children for the first time is an experience I will never forget and to have the privilege to share it with children is something I will forever be grateful for.

I have one to one sessions available, please get in touch with any questions or to discuss this work further.
