The trainers not only receive excellent instruction, but also have to demonstrate and provide evidence of their aptitude and competence in the practical application of YOU & ME Yoga. The scheme has unquestionably expanded opportunities for both students and trainers." For pilot YOU & ME Yoga Students Certificated Programme "I have seen great improvements in the students' abilities in the following areas: balance, strength, coordination, body awareness, breath control, posture control, relaxation skills, and social skills. These abilities are necessary key skills to improve the students' vocational opportunities. Without doubt all these areas improve the students' quality of life."

Therapists comments: Claire Hay, Clinical Team Manager, Greenwich Teaching Primary Care Trust "I think Maria is providing a wonderful service and has found a good way of making yoga accessible to all." Susan Cotterill, Occupational Therapist, Lanarkshire "I really enjoyed Levels 1 & 2 training at Dundee University. It was great to experience a programme that will bring Yoga to people who may otherwise never have the opportunity, and in a way that makes it so accessible to them. It was a time of personal and professional growth for me and I am really excited about using the YOU & ME Yoga Programme." Janice Hext, Paedeatric Physiotherapsit, YOU & ME Yoga Trainer, RNIB Sunshine House School, Northwood, Middlesex "The case studies were enjoyable and all the children that participated enjoyed the sessions and progressed with many aspects of the yoga.   The school that I work at has children with multiple disabilities and the teachers in the school find that the YOU and ME system fits well into the curriculum.  The staff find doing the sessions with the children relaxing for them as well as the children".
