SAM Yoga

SAM Yoga is for everyone; Beginner or experienced yogi you will find a warm inclusive welcome.

I am a 500-hour certified British Wheel of Yoga teacher, certified Special Yoga for Special Children teacher and mental health first aider.

My general sessions are based on the hatha style of yoga, where you will be guided through a range of postures, mindful movement, soulful sequences, breathing and relaxation techniques all interwoven with yoga philosophy to inspire empowerment and self-confidence.

Special yoga for special children encourages each child to fulfil their potential and purpose. These sessions aim to provide a sense of empowerment, to find connection and to grow a community amongst families.

Each child is unique and each week can bring it’s own challenges; and therefore every special yoga session is also unique. A special yoga session is intuitive, working with the child's own energy and capabilities on the day. The focus of these sessions are not about how many yoga poses may or may not be achieved but more about how grounded and relaxed the child feels during and after the session. A variety of massage, chanting, postural work, breathing, relaxation and restorative techniques may be used depending on what is appropriate for the child physically and emotionally on the day. These sessions aim to support each child to feel safe, grounded, embodied, comfortable in their own skin, calm and connected.

I've trained under Special Yoga to share yoga with children and young people (ages 4-25) with special and additional needs, including autism and ADHD, Fragile X Syndrome, Down’s Syndrome, cerebral palsy, PMLD and other learning, developmental and physical challenges.

If you're considering special yoga for your child I’d love to hear from you! Please do get in touch to register your interest for 1:1, family, school or group sessions.

SAM Yoga will enable you to feel stronger, more supple and relaxed in both body and mind.
We are excited to welcome you!
