What Is Special Yoga?  I get asked frequently. 

So I’ve been reflecting on what Special Yoga truly is.  

Yes, we are a training school in therapeutic yoga for children and adults with special needs… but that is not the whole story.

We offer yoga both on and off the mat.

Because yoga, for me, has always been a way of being rather than simply something we do. It is about love.
It is about presence.

And what happens when we allow ourselves to fully arrive in presence?

We remember who we are.

There is no future.
There is no past.
There is only this precious moment. Right here. And here. And here again.

When we rest in that space, we become the beings of love we have always been. And what greater gift can we offer anyone than our full, loving presence?

And then your tool box of Special Yoga practices are so much more impactful. 

That, to me, is Special Yoga.
