INCLUSIVE YOGA FOR ALL ABILITIES
Adapted sessions to include people who have a learning and/or physical disability with yoga instructor Nick Sheppard
Unconditional Yoga with Nick
Having been fortunate enough to work with adults with a learning and/or physical disability for many years, and a developing a love of yoga, I decided to bring them both together.
Six years ago I started a moving and stretching class at Windward Day Services. Having seen the benefit to the group, I took the plunge travelling to India in 2015 to qualify as a yoga instructor.
Since January 2019 I have solely concentrated on Unconditional Yoga, and I’m looking forward to many sessions with existing Yogis and new.
The benefits of Yoga and Mindfulness include:
– Improving motor control and motor planning skills
– Developing physical strength, muscle tone and balance
– Promoting flexibility and correcting postural misalignment
– Increasing self-awareness
– Establishing calm, organised mental states
– Improve concentration
– Reduce hyperactivity
– Relieve respiratory ailments
– Develop the ability to relax
– Release tension
– Reduce fear, frustration and stress
– Enrich the quality and quantity of sleep

TESTIMONIALS
I like the stretching to the heart and Namaste pose. I like doing warrior pose. It makes me feel relaxed and good inside the body.
Nick is a very good yoga teacher and I found his sessions enjoyable!
I like doing the tree pose. I enjoy the chillaxing at the end. It helps me with my balance.
Nick is a good teacher and I like the smell of his incense.
