ABOUT THE METHOD
For over 50 years, our Method has supported babies, children, and adults with additional needs.
Sonia Sumar began teaching yoga for children with additional needs after her daughter Roberta was born with Down Syndrome in 1972. What she saw in Roberta’s development became the beginning of a lifelong method of service.
Today, Yoga for All Abilities offers training programs, classes, private support, and mentoring for families, educators, yoga teachers, therapists, health professionals, and caregivers.
