Looking for online yoga teacher

7 replies

HI, I wonder if anyone can help. My DS, who is 14 and autistic, has been having online yoga classes (one to one) since the start of the pandemic. It has been very beneficial to him. His teacher is now going off to do a Masters degree and won't have time to teach him any more. I am finding it surprisingly difficult to find a new teacher. Does anyone know anyone or have any suggestions? It does not matter where they are (the last one was in California!). I do want a woman though. Grateful for any help.

Would he try videos?
Yoga with Kassandra is really good, I think she did so some online classes too but unsure if she still does, Kassandra is Far better than Adriene imo.

These offer some of their classes online via Zoom as well as in person (eg, the more general classes):

I don't know if they will do 1:1 but worth asking. If he can bring himself to join a class (cheaper for you!), ask to meet the teacher in advance for an introduction.

We have had people join classes via Zoom who have kept their camera off, if that would help him.

We've tried videos but it doesn't work for him, he needs the one-to-one attention of a teacher talking him through, praising him etc etc.

Thanks @DisplayPurposesOnly I will try them. He really needs one to one rather than a group. (He does do a group dance class online but it's a special one for SN kids). But maybe they will have someone or know of someone.

I am quite surprised it is hard to find people! You would think it would be a lucrative sideline for any freelance teacher. The Californian lady was charging $50 for half an hour, so not really cheap!
