“Completing the Special Yoga course changed my relationship with yoga, the way I teach in my class and even my relationship with my pupils. We have built a beautiful connection through practising Yoga together. Bringing the things that I've learned to my classroom has given me beautiful moments, seeing my pupils make incredible progress not only physically but emotionally. I really enjoyed working through the course and the webinars with Jyoti. I can't wait to further develop my practice outside the class!“
- Barbara (Teacher)
“Yoga is the best thing to happen at our school. It is all encompassing: physical, mental, social and emotional. Staff also benefit through the heightened awareness of their state and the impact this has on students. I feel the combination of developing their own personal practise, and increasing their toolkit of techniques for the children, empowered the staff to take yoga forward and truly believe in it’s power to transform.
The impact of yoga in our school is well acknowledged and all teachers agree that is really is the best thing to happen in our school.
- Natalie (Head Teacher)
“This course more than met my learning objectives. Not only did I learn techniques to support those I work with, it made me reflect on my personal practice and prioritise my own self care.
Each Special Yoga teacher I have come across is so compassionate, empathetic and supportive, encouraging us at each step.
I look forward to continuing my Special Yoga journey.”
- Katie (Yoga teacher)
“I am so grateful, and I know my students are too. This training has developed my practice in sharing yoga with young people with SEN. It has been a joy to deepen the connection and engagement with all the young people I have the privilege to share yoga with. The materials, community, shared experience and time to embed and immerse into the Special Yoga approach have been truly inspirational.”

“I found the Special Yoga Course greatly improved my knowledge in yoga and how it can help people with Autism and ADHD. It has also improved my own practice. I can highly recommend it. I feel confident using yoga in the SEN school where I work.”
- John
“An enlightening and informative course, which not only teaches you to support children with special needs with self regulation and relaxation but also self care practices to ensure you are in the best state to support them. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone who wants to teach yoga to children with ADHD and autism.”
- Abianne
“The training gave me a great chance to deepen my knowledge of the practices to support neurodiversity holistically with yogic tools. As a Teaching Assistant in mainstream education, I deeply benefited from support and had the opportunity to reflect on 'resistance' and the paramount importance of self-care.”
- Maria
“Although I have worked in SEN for years in education, having recently qualified as a yoga teacher this course taught me so much. It’s had a huge impact on my PMLD and ASC classes in my school”
- Nicola
“This course has helped me to build on my understanding of working with young people with additional needs. I now feel confident in being able to deliver a variety of yoga exercises with the students I directly support and I feel I would be able to adapt my Teaching style, depending on their needs in that moment.
The instructors have offered me their support throughout the course and Anna was always approachable, whenever I had a question. I would recommend the course to anyone working in a setting with children or adults with learning difficulties.”
