Sharing the Practices: when you have graduated the course you will be able to adapt the practices to share with those with Autism Spectrum Disorders, Aspergers and ADHD

The investment of your time and money in a Special Yoga course is repaid through the benefits you’ll see with the children but is also a great addition to your CV. Some of our parent graduates who joined the course to share yoga with their children go on to become Special Yoga practitioners sharing with other groups of children or offering one to one sessions. 

If you are sharing Special Yoga as a job you will need have insurance and we work with a company who recognise the value of our training. They will require a copy of your course certificate which demonstrates that you have passed your assignments and have had 40 hours of training. 

How are the forty hours made up?

• Webinars

You are required to attend the opening webinar so we can meet you and get a good understanding of your learning aims and objectives. You will meet your fellow students and your course teachers. After the webinar you will be allocated a study group and teacher.

We can’t imagine that you’ll want to miss any of the other webinars but just in case life gets in the way of one of them you will be required to watch the recording so we are sure you haven’t missed any of the necessary learning or required hours.

• Study Support Sessions

On this course there are four study support sessions each of which has an assignment for you to work on with your smaller study group. Students often feedback that they find this one of the most useful parts of the course.

These sessions are not recorded as we find the conversation really flows when the camera is off! Students must attend a minimum of three study groups. If you aren't able to attend one week then you'll be asked to liaise with a fellow student to discuss what happened, to reflect on the study group assignment yourself and submit a brief report to your study group leader with your reflections.

• Assignments

In the course schedule you'll find a number of personal assignments for you to do. When completed they'll be submitted to your study group leader who will give you one to one feedback.

• Self Practise and Embodying the Practices

Being a Special Yoga practitioner means you will work from the heart. This is not only a result of our teachings but also as a result of the work you do day to day to practise self care and compassion.
In the Resource Library you will find practices to support those you learned on your in person days. Our Heart Meditation, Grounding Yoga Practice and Coherent Breathing are key but be lead by your own instincts daily as to what will best serve you.
Time has been set aside within the forty hours for your daily practice and we trust you will honour this.

So that's the forty hours.
