You’ll deepen your understanding of how Special Yoga supports a wider range of needs, emotionally, physically, and energetically.

The training introduces more advanced therapeutic practices that help regulate the nervous system, support emotional balance, and meet more complex needs.

You’ll also explore how to adapt and apply these techniques with confidence across different age groups and settings.

You’ll deepen your practice with advanced techniques that build on the foundation course giving you more tools for more complex aspects of different conditions.

Here’s what you’ll explore:

• Advanced Pranayama and Asana: Enhancing breathwork and physical postures to better support individuals with special needs.

• Singing and Sound: Utilizing vocal techniques and sound vibrations for therapeutic benefits.

• Massage and Energy Work: Learning refined methods to promote relaxation and energy balance.

• Mindfulness Practices: Developing deeper mindfulness strategies to aid in emotional and mental regulation.

• Yoga Nidra, Relaxation, and Restorative Yoga: Introducing practices that facilitate profound rest and healing.

• Polyvagal Theory Integration: Understanding the nervous system’s role in stress and relaxation to inform your approach.

These practices are designed to enhance your ability to support individuals with special needs, fostering greater harmony and fulfillment in both your teaching and your daily life.

SYSN1 is for anyone who has completed the foundation training and is ready to take the next step.

We’ve designed the training for parents, carers, educators, therapists and yoga professionals wanting to expand their Special Yoga toolkit and go deeper into their practice.

Whether you’re supporting children, teens or adults, this training helps you meet them with greater skill and sensitivity.

SYSN1 is the natural next step after the foundation training.

It builds on the core principles you’ve already learned and gives you a deeper layer of understanding and practical tools.

It also prepares you for the final stage in the Special Yoga pathway, Senior Level 2, which is only available to those who’ve completed SYSN1.

The Foundation training introduced you to the principles of Special Yoga.

SYSN1 takes you much deeper. You’ll explore new therapeutic approaches, more advanced techniques, and develop a clearer understanding of how we meet the child or adult, however complex the needs. There’s also a new exploration of emotional and energetic aspects of the work,  for both the people you support and yourself.

SYSN1 is delivered online over four months, combining live webinars, recorded content, and guided self-study.

You’ll be part of a small, supportive study group, with access to regular live sessions and reflective tasks to help you integrate what you’re learning.

The time commitment varies slightly each week, but on average you can expect 3–4 hours of learning, practice, or reflection per week.

We know life can be full; All live sessions are recorded and available for replay.

While we encourage you to attend live when possible (especially the interactive elements), you can still complete the training by watching the replays and staying engaged with your study group and tutor feedback.

The full training is £695, with the option to spread the cost over five monthly payments of £139.
