We're delighted to be returning to Vienna this August for our second Special Yoga for Special Children training in Austria.

From 17–23 August, founder Jyoti Jo Manuel will lead this internationally recognised seven-day practitioner training, supported by Barbara Kubu, with teaching provided in both English and German. The course is designed for parents, carers, educators, therapists, healthcare professionals and yoga teachers who want to confidently support children and young people with additional needs through the Special Yoga methodology.

Participants will learn practical, adaptable techniques that can be used with a wide range of conditions, including autism, ADHD, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy and profound and multiple learning disabilities. The emphasis is always on creating safety, connection and wellbeing through gentle, evidence-informed practices.

We love seeing the Special Yoga community grow internationally, and we're excited to continue supporting practitioners across Europe. If you're based in Austria or know someone who would benefit from this training, we'd love to welcome you.

📍 Vienna | 17–23 August 2026
