Special Yoga

We will cover the different challenges that can arise with this population and give you different paths and keys to bring out the best in each child and to support each and every one to reach their fullest potential. Yoga when offered therapeutically provides one of the best early intervention programmes especially for babies and toddlers with Down Syndrome, and that continues through the ages. Over the many years of offering Special Yoga, we have really seen a great difference in the physical strength, motor planning and motor coordination, communication, health, breath capacity and balance both emotionally and physically for these beautiful children. The course will also offer you some videos of sessions with children and babies with Down Syndrome for you to peruse at your leisure after the course. You will learn how to structure and plan a yoga session for a child with Down Syndrome and implement the necessary tools to share yoga therapeutically with them. These skills can be integrated into a class or taught as a one-to-one session. This Special Yoga for Down Syndrome short course teaches you accessible practices and adaptations to begin to teach this community with varying levels of abilities, physically and cognitively.
