by Yoga for All Abilities
Yoga for All Abilities grew from Sonia Sumar's work with her daughter Roberta, who was born with Down syndrome, beginning in 1972. Over five decades Sumar refined a therapeutic yoga method integrating breathwork, physical movement, chanting, deep relaxation, and meditation — all adapted for people whose bodies and minds work differently.
The programme offers in-person classes, online courses, a 95-hour teacher certification (95H), and mentoring. An online learning platform hosts self-paced courses, and the website provides free guidance on how yoga benefits specific conditions. Trained educators and therapists use the Sumar Method in schools, clinics, and private practice worldwide.
Children and adults with Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, autism spectrum conditions, ADHD, learning disabilities, microcephaly, and other intellectual or developmental conditions — as well as the educators, therapists, and caregivers who support them.
A nonprofit founded by Matthew Sanford — a yoga teacher and author paralysed from the chest down at age thirteen — offering free adaptive yoga classes online six days a week, with a full on-demand library available at no cost. The programme is open to anyone living with disability, trauma, or chronic illness.
