The Special Yoga Centre was founded by Jo Manuel.
Jo is very committed to bringing yoga into peoples’ lives in a way that is
meaningful and affordable. Her specialism in the
yoga sector is helping children who
are disabled or are with special needs embrace yoga and to benefit from it.
The Special Yoga Centre is the UK home of The Yoga for the Special
Child programme which supports children with a wide range of conditions
including Cerebral Palsy, Downs Syndrome, Autism and Epilepsy, ADD (Attention
Deficit Disorder), ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) and other
physical and developmental difficulties. Jo was trained in yoga for children with special
needs by Sonia Sumar in the You can read about Sonia’s work by clicking here
to go to her website. The Centre The Special Yoga Centre is based in a beautifully
renovated building in It offers high quality adults and children's
classes, workshops and courses for beginners to experienced students alike.
The Centre’s teachers come from all yoga traditions
and are dedicated to giving each student a solid foundation from which to
grow and to embrace the lifelong study of yoga.
A recent addition to the yoga workshops offered
is yoga for pregnant women which is intended to help
women to have a less stressful time during pregnancy and to look after
themselves and the baby inside. It is an important training centre and offers a
range of training courses to train people to teach yoga to children including
those with special needs and behavioural difficulties. Teachers come away
from the Centre’s courses understanding how to
evaluate and to build yoga programmes for children and how to work with
specific syndromes and disorders amongst children. It also offers workshop classes in other
disciplines such as Meditation, Kirtan, Sufi Rhythm of Life, Kung Fu and Capoeira.
A number of therapists in other disciplines operate
from the centre including acupuncture, nutrition, relexology
and shiatsu. A Charity
As well as
having the studios in NW10, it also operates outreach programmes whereby yoga
is taught in places like schools, nurseries and children’s centres. Like all successful charities, there is never
enough money to fund all the projects that the Centre could get underway. The
charity raises its funds from donations and sponsorship given by supporters,
fund raising events, room hire and class fees. Anybody who pays class fees or
hires a room will be making a financial contribution to the charity. If you
know of any people local to the Centre who are
thinking of learning yoga, please let them know about The Special Yoga
Centre. YouTube A video clip showing young people at the Centre can
