Yoga therapy for children with special needs Our highly trained children’s yoga therapists provide yoga therapy to children with special needs in both special and mainstream schools across most London boroughs. This programme is in line with the following government frameworks:
• Every Child Matters (ECM) • Social and Emotional Aspects of Learning (SEAL) • Achievement for All (AfA) • Aiming High for Disabled Children (AHDC)
Regular yoga therapy increases emotional stability, resilience and self- esteem, promoting an overall sense of well-being.
After a term of weekly yoga classes one special school with profoundly challenged children, reported the following findings: • 100% improved concentration • 67% improvement of mood • 83% improved communication and social skills • 100% improved motor skills
Yoga in Mainstream Schools We recognise that all children have needs and can benefit from the regular practice of yoga. We are therefore developing a programme which supports children in mainstream schools to build their physical, emotional and neurological development.
