On today's episode, I speak to Sarah Henderson, a yoga teacher who specializes in teaching adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Sarah's parents were role models of advocacy after her younger sister, Hannah, was born with Down Syndrome. And Sarah has followed in their footsteps -- before she became a yoga teacher, she worked at an inclusive preschool, in respite care, and as a developmental evaluator. Add to that the many different types of yoga training Sarah has under her belt -- including training with Jivana Heyman of Accessible Yoga, with Matthew Sanford, and with Jason -- and Sarah has a an incredible toolkit to draw from as she works with her students. On this episode, Sarah shares many useful insights such as:How one of her teachers encouraged her forge her own path and teach this population of adultsHow she sequences her classes based on the training she's done with JasonThe tools she uses to people who learn and process things differentlyWhy she believes “presence is participation”How teaching this community is different—and, perhaps more importantly, how it’s the same as teaching anyone elseShow notes: http://www.jasonyoga.com/podcast/episode260Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/yogaland.
