Autism and Cognitive Disabilities like Down’s Syndrome and Dyspraxia are becoming more and more prevalent in today’s world. Global statistics show a significant rise in clinical diagnosis of Autistic Spectrum Disorder over the last three years, to the extent that these statistics are now impossible to ignore.

Yoga as a spiritual and physical fitness practice, is also rapidly gaining recognition and was one of the top ten growth industries in 2012. It is becoming apparent that children and adults with Asperger’s and Autism benefit greatly from yoga practice, that integrates music, colour and movement.

Yoga4Autism.org is a centre of excellence for yoga teacher training. We offer some of the most comprehensive training courses for yoga and meditation for Adults and Children with ASD in Europe and across the globe..

The training was designed to meet the challenges of those with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD), including individuals with Sensory Integration Disorder, Asperger’s Syndrome, Pervasive Developmental Disorder, High Functioning Autism and Classic Autism. In addition to the benefits typically associated with yoga – improved strength, flexibility and breathing – the Yoga routine often provides the following benefits for those with ASD as listed on the homepage:

It will also contain visual representation of their progress using line graphs, charts, etc. You will be able to generate reports in the format Schools, Councils, etc require them as well as generate your own bespoke reports. Accompanying this will also be an app so you can update and access this wealth of information at any time.

  • We will also be introducing an Autism friendly social network where teachers, parents, carers, Y4A Practitioners and people on the spectrum can interact and support each other in a warm and safe environment. This will also integrate with the Tracking, Management and Reporting service.
  • Take part in future Y4A Events where Y4A Practitioners can get together, share ideas and support each other face to face. We hope to be able to treat our Y4A Practitioners to fun days out such as Yoga Shows, Yoga Festivals and eventually even yoga retreats. We want you to feel supported by us every step of the way.
  • Plus much more to come!
