My son Jack was diagnosed with autism in 2017. One of the consistent recommendations to support him was to try a yoga class – but there was nothing nearby that would suit his needs.
I decided to train to teach him myself! I have also trained in mindfulness techniques which complement the poses found in reflex yoga.
I soon discovered these techniques could benefit not only my son, but also my friends, family, and the wider community, and so I launched “Yoga and Mindfulness with Jon”.
Since launching in 2019, I have expanded my practice to also offer massage and have been lucky enough to have taught at the World Yoga Festival in 2022, and provide yoga sessions for Gloucestershire Mindfulness (2022). I also regularly teach yoga at the local preschool and provide yoga and local community events.
