Inclusive Yoga for children

Hello,

I am Imara and I am raising funds for an inclusive yoga project for children.

I am a Yoga teacher and I want to give children access to the valuable tools that yoga offers. The practice of yoga strengthness self-esteem, improves concentration and teaches us to perceive the connection between body, mind and soul.

When my now four-years-old son Liam was born, I felt so inspired by him and his x-tra chromosome, that I started looking for a method by which he could feel motivated to practice yoga. After a couple of years of experimenting with him and his closest friends, I developed a method of yoga for children with and without Trisomie 21. I have been teaching this method for a small group of childrens and moms for the last six months in Zurich. I perceive the results are very positive for the kids themselves, for the relation with their mother and for the feeling of belonging to this group.

In order to continue with this project, I decided to make this fund raising. I am raising funds to be able to pay the rent for the classroom for the next year, to keep the continuity and maintain my current students. I am also looking forward to make professional photos to set a website and reach more people. And finally, I would like to make a formation in Yoga for special childs, to complement my studies and get some steps deeper on the developing of my own methode.

With great gratitude

Namaste

Imara
