Not your typical yoga…

This is yoga for children and adults with additional needs :)

Yoga for all abilities…

If you or your child has additional or complex needs - usually described as Special Educational Needs & Disabilities (SEND) - you are in the right place :)

Yoga can help kids and adults with SEND to meet challenges like anxiety and stress, poor sleep and digestion, physical difficulties and emotional issues.

I’m a Hatha yoga teacher with 7 years’ experience working with kids and adults with SEND - I offer bespoke 1:1 yoga classes for people with diagnoses, conditions and neurodiversity such as:

  • Autism

  • ADHD

  • Cerebral palsy

  • Down’s Syndrome

Anxiety & Stress?

Optimal and slower breath is key - and poses like spinal twist are incredible for easing into a more relaxed state.

Issues with Sleep?

Stretching the spine and moving each joint allow tensions in the body to be released, for a better night’s sleep.

Digestive Issues?

Yoga poses - as well as belly breathing - massage and stimulate the internal organs and digestive system.

Physical Challenges?

Working to create whole body awareness, yoga poses build strength and flexibility and empower students :)

Let’s go step by step :) WhatsApp me today for an informal chat and to learn more about an evaluation session.

I’m looking forward to connecting with you!

Yoga For Every SEND

I have been teaching and training in Yoga For All Abilities since 2017. This incredible practice is both 1:1 and in groups, and can offer life-changing benefits for children and adults alike.

I have over 2,000 hours teaching experience, and regularly train with incredible teachers Sonia Sumar and her daughter, Renata Sumar Gaertner.

How can I help?

It’s my mission to make a real difference in you, your child and your family’s lives. Research shows that yoga twice a week gives you significantly greater benefits than once a week. When parents or siblings have their own classes too the effects snowball - self-care for your whole family!

    Irena, Tottenham

  • I came to do some stretching and found the class was very relaxed, very accessible and joyful! The way we moved through the poses it felt very effortless, the hour was over just like that. There wasn't a moment where I was thinking, I can't do this, or I don't want to.
