Teaching Yoga to Adults with Learning Disabilities
A further training/CPD for qualified yoga teachers
1-2 Feb + 15-16 March 2025 (28 hours)
I’m delighted to be part of the Umbrella Yoga teaching team delivering this new yoga teacher training course.
Umbrella Yoga CIC is a centre of excellence for the provision of yoga sessions for adults with learning disabilities, currently delivering 40 sessions per month to over 100 participants.
This places the organisation in an ideal position to offer an up-to-the minute, highly experiential training for existing yoga teachers wanting to expand their skills into this area. Working with Learning Disability partnership organisations and experts, Umbrella Yoga is embedded within local communities offering person-centred sessions informed by best practice, collaboration and co-creation. Training participants will gain real-life insight into teaching and practising alongside adults with learning disabilities, together with the evidence-based theory that underpins our approach.
We are offering this course, initially, as an in-person training scheduled across two weekends, with class observations and mentoring with Umbrella Yoga staff, trainer-facilitated online-discussion groups and optional reading scheduled between the weekend modules.
More details to follow. Please contact me or the team at Umbrella Yoga to register your interest and sign up to the mailing list.
