kdyoga in Education
Kdyoga work with each educational setting to develop a bespoke programme of yoga and mindfulness that will enrich the school curriculum and support pupils to become grounded and focused.
One example of this was working collaboratively with an SEN school to create yoga communication aids and visual timetables for ASC (autistic spectrum conditions) pupils. Providing such aids allowed the pupils to access the yoga and mindfulness programme fully and developed a deeper understanding of the practice for all those involved. We work across a broad spectrum of educational settings and with any age-range of pupils.
