 I found an old article in Yoga Chicago about Sonia Sumar, who trained Jennie and I in the Yoga for the Special Child (YSC) method. Sonia is the "guru" of teaching yoga to children with special needs. She developed YSC after her daughter was born with Down Syndrome in 1972.
This article shows her working in her center in Evanston - where she taught for many years - though she now lives in Florida. At Five Keys Yoga, we aim to continue her legacy in Chicagoland by providing the Yoga for the Special Child method and classes that welcome adults with special needs. We are honored to serve the special needs population in Chicago. Are you interested in Yoga for the Special Child? Check out information about our kids classes here.

My oldest has really learned how to relax and focus on her breathing. My youngest also enjoys the songs and relaxing. It is so good for their body awareness and flexibility. |
What I like about yoga is that I am relaxed more and more calm. And when I am frustrated, I breathe. I like doing yoga. |
