Neurodevelopmental Yoga

About neurodevelopmental yoga

Neurodevelopmental yoga is a practice built on breathing, balance and controlled movement that aims to support body awareness and movement quality.

The movements progress slowly and gradually; they are always adapted to the person's level. The priority is not performance or flexibility, but a safe and balanced work with the body.

Areas it aims to support:

Process and practice

Accompanied by a physiotherapist, breathing work together with balance and posture exercises are arranged according to the person's needs. An option is offered for each movement, and the person progresses at their own limit.

When a medical condition is involved, the programme is planned together with a physician's assessment. Practised regularly, it may support movement quality and general well-being.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is neurodevelopmental yoga, and who is it suitable for?

It is a practice built on breathing, balance and controlled movement, with the aim of supporting body awareness and movement quality. It suits adults seeking support with posture, balance and relaxation; if a medical condition is present, it is planned together with a physician's assessment.

Can someone who has never done yoga before take part?

Yes. Movements are adapted to the person's level, and each one has an easier option. Neither flexibility nor experience is a prerequisite.

How is it different from a physiotherapy session?

Physiotherapy is a clinical process that assesses and targets a specific complaint. Neurodevelopmental yoga is a complementary practice working on overall movement quality, breathing and balance; when guided by a physiotherapist, its movements are safely adapted to the individual.

What happens during a session?

The session opens with breath awareness, continues with slow movements focused on balance and posture, and closes with relaxation. Sessions are one-to-one and last 45-60 minutes.
