Yoga with Debs

Inclusive yoga. The children are absolutely able to be themselves. The session is for them. With no expectations. Meeting each individual where they are at.

I offer yoga for people with a variety of additional needs and vulnerabilities, including autism, ADHD, Cerebral Palsy, Down’s Syndrome, learning disability/ difficulties, PMLD (profound and multiple learning disabilities), sensory difficulties, complex needs, anxiety, OCD and other physical/ mental/behavioural challenges. Yoga can help young people reach their potential.

Yoga sessions focus on the following areas:

  • Breathing practices
  • Physical postures
  • Deep pressure massage
  • Sound therapy
  • Mindfulness
  • Relaxation

Testimonials 

“Yoga with Debs was miraculous on Saturday for my children. One was very dysregulated beforehand and the yoga gave him the sensory input he needed and also really helped him emotionally – it was the calmest I’d seen him all week. My other child spent the whole day telling everyone how she’d been doing yoga to help her clear her mind! Debs is amazing with the children and was even able to offer some tips to help with some physical issues. Thank you Debs and Snaps!”

“My daughter has been having bi weekly sessions with Debs for over two years, my daughter has complex needs, wheelchair user, and a diagnosis of Cerebral Palsy. A strong and comfortable relationship and bond has been established, my daughter benefits physically, emotionally and mentally from these sessions and I could not recommend Debs enough she is truly amazing and always ready to adapt sessions to my child’s needs.”
