As part of the Yoga Alliance Social Credentialing system, teachers that register with Yoga Alliance must submit a review of the RYS training program they completed.

Feedback from trainees provides Registered Yoga Schools with the opportunity to understand their trainees’ experiences in order to continually improve their trainings.

By choosing to display comments, schools enable trainees to provide insight into a school’s culture and training which helps potential trainees choose the right teacher training for their individual path with yoga.

  The Sonia Sumar Method - Yoga for All Abilities is a method that has changed my life and so many others. It is a method that has helped in the community of special needs for more than 50+ years. I'm lucky that I have the chance to encounter this method.

  Sonia Sumar is an amazingly transformative teacher. She really walks to talk and teaches true to traditional yoga informed by modern science and medicine.

  After completing Yoga for the Special Child training I felt very well equipped with the right tools to work as a yoga teacher in this specific field. It also gave me a lot of knowledge to work on and improve my own yoga practice. I feel very lucky to have done this training.

  The Yoga for the Special Child 300 Hour Teacher Training is the capstone course, the culmination of all the training I have taken with Sonia Sumar and Renata Sumar Gaertner since 1999. Everything I learned in the 200 Hour, the 95 Hour Children's TT, trainings to deepen my own practice, philosophy, specialty trainings to serve populations who don't normally get yoga, it was all here, all pulled together in a clear vision that is Yoga for the Special Child.

  "Yoga for the special child" hold an in depth and comprehensive training that equips you as a teacher to lead a yoga class that is rich in components, and that can be tailored for the individual's needs and abilities. Training is very clear, and includes demonstrations that make all the material much clearer. I truly recommend their courses for all yoga teachers and professional in the field working with kids.
