Over the last few weeks I have been asking my yoga classes 'what is your favourite yoga pose?'

These are the top 5 favourite yoga games as voted for by one of my learning disabilities yoga classes.

In any yoga class there are people with different abilities and levels of experience. Teaching yoga to adults with learning disabilities is no different. These are the 5 key areas to consider to ensure a successful yoga class.

Why is teaching yoga to adults with learning disabilities so enjoyable? Imagine being with a group of people who are full of positivity, only see the good things in people, laugh, encorage each other and enjoy each others company. Seems like paradise and certainly lightens the heaviness in our hearts that the daily grind of life often brings.

If you are a group leader for adults with learning disabilities and would like yoga to be part of their activity programme the first step is to find a yoga teacher. This seems easy. There are many yoga teachers out there...but finding one who teacher adults with a learning disability are few and far between.
