For some time, I have wanted to take our training online. Until this year, however, I wasn’t able to see how we could best connect to our students; to see how their practice was evolving, while wholly supporting them. But, as we all know, Covid-19, and the ensuing lockdown response, changed everything. Suddenly, we had no choice but to transfer our courses online. I had no idea how that would work, I just knew that the pathway to do this was opening up, and we had to walk it while learning along the way.
As we undertook this project, I knew what my priorities were. We had to ensure that the quality of the work remained high and find ways to make sure that the students were really studying and embodying the practice. It was also paramount that the students were held, and for us to find a way to replicate the peer support that’s so vital.
Special Yoga isn’t your ‘normal’ yoga training outfit, rather, we share tools and practices for students to be confident and empowered to bring the best of yoga and mindful practices to children with special and additional needs. People who study with us could be educators, paediatric professionals and parents who may have little or no experience of yoga. As well, of course, as yoga teachers that may already teach yoga to children and want to expand their knowledge and practice to support the children with additional needs in their classes. There are also those yoga practitioners who have a calling to work with children with special needs. All are welcome and welcomed. Having such a wide range of students from different backgrounds with different knowledge enriches everyone’s experience.
