Yoga and Mindfulness
Feel it, understand it, and find your calm—one emotion at a time.
Led by Meg Hennessey Schofield—a special educator, prior Cotting teacher, E-RYT 200, YACEP, mindfulness instructor and Director of the SMYLE™ Program: Sensory and Mindfulness-Based Yoga for Learning Environments—this class helps young adults with disabilities build emotional regulation skills through sensory-informed yoga and mindfulness.
Each session focuses on one “big emotion”—sadness, fear, or anger—guiding participants to notice body sensations, understand their feelings and use targeted tools to feel calmer, more focused and in control. Participants leave each session with a printed yoga sequence and a list of quick, portable strategies to use anytime, anywhere.
Meg co-authored Sensory-Enhanced Yoga® for Children and Adolescents with former Cotting colleague Lynn Stoller (Amazon link) and provides professional trainings for OTs, PTs, social workers, therapists, school educators, yoga teachers, and parents on the SMYLE™ Program through the Sensory Enhanced Yoga® Institute.
