Jyoti Jo Manuel
Bournemouth, Dorset
WIth years of experience of offering therapeutic yoga practises to children - and in particular to children with additional needs, Jyoti is delighted to be part of the Breath Body Mind teachers faculty supporting the programmes that involve working with children and young people. The underlying belief at Special Yoga that your state matters as the adult around the child, aligns beautifully with BBM.
Jyoti started her personal yoga journey in 1974, started teaching in the late 80s, and then went on to establish Special Yoga in 2002. Special yoga is now a global training school offering trainings to parents, educators, yoga therapists and teachers, and pediatric professionals.
Special Yoga offers accessible, sustainable practises that are easy to deliver.
Special Yoga has practitioners delivering practises to children with special needs in Sri Lanka, Thailand, India, Mexico, Peru, Iceland, Spain, Senegal, Germany, Austria, Dubai, Australia, Nepal, Canada and beyond. In addition to offering training programmes in different parts of the world, she has worked for the NHS and varying education authorities providing inhouse training and programmes in schools, and through clinical teams of OTs, physiotherapists etc.
