Like everyone, people who have Down Syndrome have their own personalities, things they like and dislike and things that make them who they are. They’ll have a differing range of abilities with some being more independent and others needing more support.
This Down Syndrome short course features a webinar of almost five hours in which Christin Godwin and Jyoti Manuel look at the different forms of Down Syndrome, how it may present and how that may change as the child grows up and why yoga is such an effective practice.
In addition to the webinar you’ll get pre-recorded videos of yoga postures, breathwork and yoga nidra as well as films of practise sessions with different children.
