We’re delighted to share that Special Yoga has been named Best Additional Needs Yoga Training Service 2026 – South West England in the SME News UK Enterprise Awards.

This award recognises 24 years of supporting parents, carers, educators and healthcare professionals through the internationally recognised Special Yoga methodology.

Our evidence-informed training provides practical tools and practices that help children and adults of all abilities experience greater safety, connection and wellbeing.
