Every child is special

I offer one-to-one sessions in the Yoga for the Special Child ^® programme.  The programme was developed in the 1970’s by Sonia Sumar. 

Already an experienced yoga teacher, Sonia developed this therapeutic system when her second daughter was born with Down's Syndrome.  The foundation of her work is the belief that every child is special and no label can pre-determine someone’s potential for positive change.

The programme is designed to encourage the natural development of children with specific needs at a pace that suits them.  It is not target orientated but benefits of regular sessions include:

• Increased attention and concentration
• Improved fine motor co-ordination, visual, motor and auditory processing
• Improved postural alignment, muscle tone and flexibility
• More regular sleep patterns and improved respiratory function

And as with all yoga it allows the time and space to feel calm and at peace.
