The Satchidananda Yoga Center in Evanston and Sonia Sumar

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.
