Yotism is a specialist yoga teacher training school built on years of practical experience and research.
We have developed two unique forms of neurodevelopmental yoga designed to provide sensory support and rehabilitation.
Yoga for Autism is a powerful, practical technique created to support children and adults with neurodivergence and autistic spectrum conditions.
It brings together modern understanding of movement and neuro-sensory systems with the ancient healing art of yoga—helping to build a strong connection between body, mind, and being while developing balance and harmony.
This gentle practice is a powerful tool for nervous system regulation, emotional release, and communication development, enabling calmer moods and improved social interaction.
Our training courses provide opportunities for professionals, teachers, parents, and carers to specialise in this therapeutic field.
Reflex Yoga is unique in its approach, blending Somatic and Hatha-inspired movement to support neurological development.
By combining knowledge of neurology, primitive reflexes, and movement, Reflex Yoga restores balance between brain and body, promoting integration and overall wellbeing.
Below are some of the core principles that define Yotism’s approach:
Our methods are designed to nurture sensory awareness and promote recovery through therapeutic movement and mindful connection.
Gentle yoga practices help to release emotions, regulate the nervous system, and foster calm, balanced behaviour.
We unite neuro-sensory understanding with traditional yoga principles, creating an approach that is both evidence-based and deeply holistic.
Through Reflex Yoga, we restore harmony between the brain and body, supporting neurological development and enhancing overall wellbeing.
