An Interview with Sonia Sumar, the creator of Yoga for the Special Child.

 An interview with Sonia Sumar was published in Illumine Chicagoland last year.  Sonia describes how her interest in yoga began, her relationship with her daughter, who was born with Downs Syndrome, and how Sonia developed Yoga for the Special Child.
    This inspiring woman ignited my passion for yoga and kindled my interest in breaking down barriers of access to yoga.  Sonia teaches that anyone can benefit from a yogic lifestyle.  Yoga isn't about contorting your body into esoteric positions.  The goal of yoga is "striving to live harmoniously as members of one universal family."
    If you'd like to be inspired by Sonia, you're in luck!  She is coming to Chicago in late April.  Visit Yoga for the Special Child for information about this incredible training.
