Poor mental health among children and young people has been described as an epidemic and an "escalating crisis" as statistics show. There is sadly a huge amount of unnecessary suffering going on within our education system and outside of it. Education focusing on positive mental health are necessary within the education system, and could promote reduced absences, exclusions, school “refusers” and a happier student body.

Our training course 'Special Yoga for Vulnerable Young People' is taking place Saturday February 1st 2020, in London.

In this one-day workshop you will learn how to bring yoga and mindfulness to vulnerable and misunderstood young people who are in alternative education schools (Pupil Referral Units) and within mainstream education. The day is designed with a view to give you more understanding, knowledge and insight into these vulnerable young people, and to learn techniques to effectively support them.

Bookings are now open -

Today is International Day of Persons with Disabilities. This day falls on the 3rd of December each year, with the aim of promoting empowerment, and helping to create real opportunities for people with disabilities.

At Special Yoga we believe that all children are special and deserve to experience peace, joy and fulfilment of their potential and purpose, and we support and nourish all special children on their unique journey to embrace their potential through our respected therapeutic Special Yoga practice.

Our conviction is borne from working with thousands of special children throughout the years and witnessing the profound and far-reaching effects that our pioneering form of Special Yoga has on the lives of every child it reaches.

Here are some beautiful pictures of Special Yoga Founder Jyoti Jo Manuel, spreading this love all over the globe. We hope to continue our mission to reach as many children as possible with Yoga.
Wishing you all a beautiful day,

Jyoti Jo Manuel
