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 60 hours of training and are now considered to be a Special Yoga Senior Practitioner.

13 Live Webinars
These webinars will not only inspire you and teach you new pathways of practice and self love, but will also connect you with your fellow students that perhaps are not part of your study group. Each webinar is designed with a led practice that is relational to the theme of the webinar and from there there the magic will unfold.
7 Recorded Webinars
Some of the webinars are now pre-recorded so you can listen to them in your own time. These will include Somatics, Reflexology, Meditation, the Magic of Fascia, the Sensory System, Trauma and Pranayama. We will open a forum for any questions that might arise from these programmes within the study groups and on the community platform.
7 Live Study Groups
As you know from previously studying with us, the study groups are a phenomenal way of building a supportive and loving community within your peer group. You always learn from each other (as we also do from you). Each study group will be themed appropriately to the course journey.
1 Assignment
The assignment will be given you to when the course starts and there will be specific date for delivery to your study group leader. It will invite you to explore your inner experiences which we have found to be very helpful and supportive on your journey.
