Which conditions can it be adapted for?

Our first course Special Yoga for Special Children was designed for those wishing to share practices with children with any physical, emotional or neurological condition - whether formally diagnosed or not.

What difference could Special Yoga make to you? Read what they said after training with us.

  • “I could never have imagined the profound impact that Special Yoga would have on my whole family.
    My son embraced the practices and learned to regulate himself using them and I’ve learned the importance of self-care. This has been transformative for my whole family.”
    Josie - Mum

  • “Special Yoga is a great course! I’d really recommend everyone give it a go - it’s amazing to see what the children and young people you work with get out of the practices.
    Kai - Teacher GOSH

  • “ A new toolbox with knowledge and exercises for my own self-regulation, self-care and co-regulation for children. This makes a huge difference for children and the nervous system. I am so grateful for this educational course with simple and effective asanas, breathwork, chanting & sound, singing, acupressure, and mindfulness. I am surprised how well the Special Yoga method works and I enjoy using it.”

    Anne - Yoga Teacher

  • “I was struggling to get out the house with Lucia, it was not a good time. Transitons were impossible.
    Special Yoga changed everything. It only took a couple of days and I could feel my heart open.
    Once I’d completed the course I was so much more regulated that Lucia’s behaviour started to improve, there was less expectation on anyone.”
    Frankie - Mum

  • “We’ve seen improved physical and mental health with the students. Using the practices has helped developing relationships, connections turn taking and learning to enjoy the presence of others. Using intentions for each of the sessions the teachers are able to show progress against targets and you don’t need loads of resources or money to make it happen.”
    Sarah - Teacher, Childrens Trust

  • “It is no exaggeration to say training with Special Yoga has changed my life. It has provided me with the opportunity to connect with an amazing community, it has equipped me with the tools to foster my own well being and most importantly it has enabled me to open my heart and share therapeutic yoga practices with others. It feels like pure magic! “

    Helen - Yoga Teacher

  • I have really enjoyed the course and learnt about applying the practice with children and young people with ASC.

    Lisa - Learning Disability Nurse CAMHS team

  • “I highly recommend this course. Jyoti and the other practitioners are so supportive and I've taken away some powerful personal and professional insights from the course. I can't wait to get out there and start sharing the magic of Special Yoga with my community.:

    Eve - Occupational Therapist

What is Special Yoga?

If you’re thinking lycra and pretzels think again, it’s a lot more than just postures and anyone can do it.

The Special Yoga methodology has been developed and practised for over twenty years; in that time Jyoti says she has “never yet met a child who hasn’t benefitted from yoga at some level”.

Special Yoga includes postures breathwork, mindfulness, relaxation, sound & rhythm, massage & energy and more and it can be done by anyone. In the videos below Jyoti explains the benefits of some of our key practises and you can see students using them.
