Unity In Diversity - the Sonia Sumar Method for people of all ages and abilities
Date & Time
Oct 08, 7:00 AM EDT – Oct 10, 10:00 PM EDT
50 years later Yoga for the Special Child is an International movement and its founder, Sonia Sumar, is inviting you to a very special conference to celebrate the unity that can be found in diversity.
Today there are yoga teachers trained by Sonia all over the world! We are helping people of all ages and abilities overcome the challenges that life brings.
We want YOU to be a part of this unique online event to learn how we can all be stronger, healthier and happier together!
PLEASE SAVE THE DATES! We are working on our schedule to try to adjust to as many time zones as possible. The themes are correct, but times may be adjusted a little and we may also add more things. Final schedule will be done by the end of July.
Friday and Saturday will be for anyone who has taken a Yoga for the Special Child - The Sonia Sumar Program in the last 6 years (Continuing Education hours will be provided!). Sunday is open to public in general who would like to learn a bit about The Sonia Sumar Method (Yoga for all ages and abilities).
