Sonia Sumar, a unique teacher, deeply connects with every student. Each course day brings fresh challenges. By course end, we're prepared to teach yoga to special children with love and confidence. Eagerly awaiting part 2!
Yoga for the special child at Integral Yoga Institute sparked awakening. Learning was enriching. Since January 2017, practicing with my son has been magical. Yoga mellows his hyperactivity. It's a lifelong learning, connecting with self and child, handling challenges, meeting professionals.
My initial Yoga Teacher Training was with Sivakami. She embodies yogic principles, especially while working with children of exceptional abilities. Her teachings emphasize love, surrender, and seeing possibilities over limitations. Each course with her is enriching and unique.
Sivakami Ma's course enhanced my yoga practice. Her contagious love and dedication transform learning. Witnessing her work with children moved me; their instant connection with her was evident. Grateful for the chance to experience yoga's essence with her.
An eye-opener experience with Soniamaa taught me about love's depth. Despite physical shortcomings, her love for the soul shines. Learnt belief, compassion, spirituality, empathy, and seeing divinity in every soul, loving children more deeply.
Initially, she guided us in Hatha Yoga asanas, demonstrating proper techniques and teaching how to assist special children. We discovered they're akin to typical kids internally; their differences stem from mental and physical challenges. Connecting soul-to-soul dissolves barriers.
