The grant to Autism Berkshire which allowed us to provide relaxation classes for parents and children free of charge has come to an end but teacher Katia Cornwall, pictured, is continuing to offer them privately.
They are available in Windsor, Bracknell and Slough.
Katia, who also leads our Windsor & Maidenhead Youth Group, is a certified Yoga, Yoga4autism and Deep Relaxation Yoga Nidra teacher. She has been working with children and young people with autism for more than 10 years and uses a variety of techniques in classes, including breathing, body movements, mindfulness and visualisation.
The classes help people to relax, reduce anxiety, increase self-esteem and focus and improve flexibility and offer opportunities to make new friends.
For more information about the classes and to register for places, please email Katia at kat@yoga4kids123.co.uk or call her on 07880 555949.
