Working With Neurodiversity

CPD FOR YOGA TEACHERS & TRAINEES

Saturday 21st June | 10am – 4pm

Held at our Yoga Centre in Saltaire, West Yorkshire.

Ideal for teachers and teacher trainees looking to refine and evolve their yoga teaching skills.

 Working With Neurodiversity in Yoga

Awareness and research relating to neurodiversity are growing, but it remains a new area for many yoga teachers. It is estimated that about 1 in 7 people in the UK are neuro-diverse or neuro-divergent. Women are increasingly learning that they are neuro-diverse, sometimes in their 40s or 50s, while many remain undiagnosed.

Join us in this CPD day to explore the practicalities of how the lived experiences of neurodiversity (including ADHD, dyslexia, autism, dyscalculia and dyspraxia) are best placed to inform our teaching approach. Why can yoga be so helpful and what is problematic? Discover too how the unique needs, gifts and challenges of these populations elevate our teaching skills and outlook overall, and often for the benefit of the whole class.

Carol began practising yoga over 30 years ago and qualified with the BWY in London. She offers CPD days, trainings in restorative yoga and yoga nidra and contributes to teacher trainings. Other certifications are in sports massage therapy and injury prevention. She is experienced in working with hypermobility and with adults with neurodiversity, one-to-one, in general classes and trainings. Warmth, collaboration, and intuition are at the heart of her teaching; she encourages inquiry, autonomy and the natural unveiling of each individual’s inner guide.
