About Clemmie's Yoga
I want to serve as many children as possible through the medium of yoga. All children are special and no label can define or limit a child's potential for positive change.
I focus on what each child needs energetically and create new sequences that support the individual. I work with breath, sound, touch, movement and relaxation. The benefits include
-
Realignment of the body to increase strength and flexibility
-
Effective breathing to bring a healthy balance to the nervous system
-
Development of mind body awareness and concentration
-
Support for the whole family
-
Deep relaxation which heals, calms and releases tension
-
Increase and regulation of breathing capacity and function
"Yoga helps us manage our emotions, increase our concentration and attention. It is a lifelong practice for developing inner peace and calm. The practice of yoga strengthens anatomical and neurological structures, balances the nervous system, and as such is inherently healing", (Jo Manuel, Founder of The Special Yoga Foundation).
The precepts of working with special children and the cornerstones of all work I do are Humility, Generosity, Patience, Loving Kindness, Empathy, Gratitude and Compassion.

About Clemmie
I am Clemmie Jones, a qualified Hatha Raja yoga teacher living near Glasgow with my family. My passion for sharing yoga originally came from being fortunate enough to witness first hand the benefits that special yoga had on my own child who has complex additional needs. I saw the profound and far reaching effects that therapeutic yoga had on him and I knew then I had to share this incredible therapy beyond my own family. I trained with Jo Manuel, the founder of the Special Yoga Foundation and now work in schools and with individuals and families. I have also trained with Heather Mason, Founder of The Minded Institute, in Yoga Therapy for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. In 2023 I qualified as an advanced therapeutic yoga teacher to help individuals in relationship to mental health, accessibility and physical rehabilitation.
"Through her Special Yoga, Clemmie not only brings our children a uniquely calm oasis, but also teaches them how to master the control of something as simple as their breathing, and with that gives them ownership of their body’s ability to deal with the rigours and unpredictability of everyday life…a strategy that’s invaluable!" (Riverside Primary School Autism Provision)
"Our pupils have benefitted greatly from weekly sessions with CJ Yoga. Clemmie has an excellent understanding of the needs of our children and she combines this with a flexible, highly individualised approach to ensure that all of our learners are able to participate and enjoy the experience. Staff have commented that children are better able to learn after sessions, and that they look forward to this opportunity. Parents too have reported that their children have demonstrated yoga techniques at home with other family members, suggesting that Clemmie's teaching reaches beyond the school!"
