Yoga and wellbeing for schools, charities and communities

Inclusive, accessible sessions designed around the people taking part.

Community Yoga with Sam works with schools, SEND settings, charities, community groups and family organisations to create yoga and wellbeing sessions that feel safe, supportive and appropriate for the people in the room. Sam also offers pre & postnatal yoga and wellbeing services for community and private clients.

Every group is different, so sessions are adapted around age, ability, confidence, mobility and the wider needs of the organisation.

Wellbeing that meets people where they are

For some people, traditional yoga spaces can feel intimidating or simply unsuitable.

Sam’s approach is different.

Sessions are designed to be flexible, welcoming and realistic, with movement adapted around the needs of the group rather than expecting everyone to do the same thing in the same way.

That could mean working with children who need a calmer, more sensory-friendly approach, supporting older adults with gentle movement, or creating a wellbeing session for a community group where confidence and accessibility matter just as much as the activity itself.

Schools & SEND

Yoga and wellbeing sessions can be adapted for schools, specialist settings and groups of children with different needs.

The focus is on accessible movement, confidence, calm and creating a positive experience rather than performance.

Sessions can be delivered as one-off workshops, enrichment activities or part of a longer programme.

Charities & Community Organisations

Sam has extensive experience working within the charity and community sector, including senior leadership roles with organisations such as Barnardo’s and Family Action.

That experience shapes the way she works with community organisations today.

Sessions can be created around the people you support, whether that means gentle movement, stress reduction, confidence building or simply providing a welcoming space to pause and reset.

Adults & Community Settings

Gentle, adaptable yoga and movement can support people who may not feel comfortable attending a traditional class.

Sam can tailor sessions around mobility, confidence and the needs of the group, including chair-based and supported movement where appropriate.

Talk to Sam about your setting

More than a yoga teacher

Sam’s background is one of the things that makes Community Yoga with Sam different.

Before moving into yoga and wellbeing, she spent years working in senior leadership within the charity sector, supporting families, teams and communities.

That means she understands that a successful session is not just about the activity itself.

It is about the people in the room, the environment they are in, how comfortable they feel and what the organisation is trying to achieve.

Her yoga and wellbeing training now sits alongside that experience, creating sessions that are practical, inclusive and rooted in genuine community work.

Flexible sessions for your organisation

Community and school sessions can be delivered in different formats depending on what you need.

This might be a one-off workshop, a half-day activity, a full-day programme or a longer-term series of sessions.

Pricing is tailored around the setting, group size and level of support required, with clear options available for schools, charities and community organisations.

If you have a group in mind, the best place to start is with a conversation.
