I feel so excited to be part of this course the first of its kind to help special yoga practitioners like me nationally and internationally share these practices with children who need it most! The possibilities are really endless and so many exciting opportunities arising! What a wealth of knowledge and experience with teachers, OT’s, physics, yoga teachers and parents of children with special needs, all with the common goal of sharing special yoga therapeutically with children. Magic 🌟

Hello Families of Norwich! I am offering a FREE phone consultation to discuss Special Yoga Therapy and how it might help you and your child. These 1:1 sessions are to give children an individualised therapeutic yoga practice to help them feel more calm and peaceful. It doesn't matter what their condition is they can still practice yoga! Sessions are run from the lovely Treat Clinic in Norwich. Please get in touch if you would like to have a chat about it! Gemma x🙏

SPECIAL FAMILY YOGIS!! I am enjoying these sessions so much and feel lucky to meet so many wonderful families! I have some new dates for you on the last Saturday of the next three months!
September 29th- 10am and 11am
October 27th- 10am and 11am
... November 24th- 10am and 11am
These sessions are gentle, non-judgmental and inclusive for children with additional support needs. I use my experience as a school teacher for children with SEN and special yoga therapist to make sure everyone can enjoy and feel the benefits of yoga. Like every child, every session is unique! I do not expect perfect behaviour and all parents are welcoming and understanding. Please contact me if you would like to book a space for these sessions! Gemma x

I still have some space if you know of any children who would benefit from this session please share! You can contact the Hamlet Centre directly to book your space! x😍

I love the excitement of waiting for my special family Yogis, never knowing what unique take every child will bring to the room. Always a joy to share yoga with every one of you in this beautiful peaceful space 🙏🏻

On September 7th I will start a brand new class at the wonderful Hamlet Charity, in Norwich! This class is for children with additional needs and provides them with a safe space to practice yoga with their adults! No previous experience necessary!

Calling Special Family Yogis!! I still have space for my class for children with additional needs THIS SATURDAY 25th August Happy Om Yoga Studio ! Classes are at 10am and 11am! This class is a relaxed, inclusive, non-judgemental space for these children and their adults to practice yoga together. Learn strategies to , breathe, self-regulate, move in a non-competitive way, relax and have fun together! Cost is £5 each! Please contact me to book your space!

This is great! Looking forward to starting my sessions in September with Special little ones at the Hamlet Centre!

When I ask kids in schools how does yoga make you feel? They reply, happy, calm, peaceful, putting them in a much better place for learning! None of us can learn if we are stressed out and anxious! Yoga on the curriculum- no brainier! X

We need to stop the negative language around these children, this makes a lot of sense! X

I Have a couple of spaces for my Special Family Yoga class this Saturday at Happy Om studio, Norwich. 1:30pm and 2:30pm. This class is gentle and relaxed, suitable for children with additional support needs! £5 each, please let me know if you would like to book a space!

My teacher talking about the exclusion crisis in schools for children with special needs. Sadly I see this in schools all the time. Special yoga in schools is a way to make things better, highly recommend these courses and I am striving to bringing more special yoga to Norfolk x

I use some of these techniques with children and you can see and feel yourselves the calming effects they have. Definitely worth a try to help children develop an awareness of their breath X

What a fantastic session for parents and children! Thoroughly enjoyable and relaxing for everyone. Thank you Gemma.

We had a couple of sessions with Gemma and she is wonderful, very calm and caring and my son Felix really enjoyed it x

Totes amazing �

My 3 children love family yoga with Gemma! They are 4, 7 and 9 and she engages them all at their own ability such a lovely way to spend a Friday afternoon together �

Great session had by the children, and parents! Gemma clearly has lots of experience in engaging young children and made things very relatable and fun. Will certainly be heading back �

Gemma is amazing. Our work was holding a retreat for families over the weekend. We booked Gemma to do a family yoga session for 30 children and parents. The children were from age 18 months to 14. Everyone had a great time and participated. She was able to keep their attention and made everyone feel welcomed. Gemma brought all the equipment and was very punctual. We highly recommend!

Gemma is amazing with my four year old son, she allows us to have quality time together and follows his lead.

Gemma is a fantastic Yoga teacher and the kids love her.

Gemma came to our school today and did a taster session with about 15 children all of whom have Autism. It was brilliant, the children were so engaged, calm and responsive. Gemma interacted with the children so well and pitched the session perfectly especially as the age range was from 5 years old to 12 years. Pupils who normally find it very difficult to focus and join in with activities were fully engaged for the whole session, it was lovely to see. Some of the pupils were reluctant to join the whole group, but Gemma was happy for them to watch and or join in at the side of the hall.

Fantastic Hen do yoga session. Gemma was great at helping us all to relax after a heavy night before. Thank you x
