With almost two decades of experience and a Masters in Clinical Psychology under her belt, Vanessa is no stranger to families whose children have special needs. In her various capacities, she has directed and supervised in-home Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) programs all around the Bay Area, as well as facilitating social skills groups and developing her own yoga curriculum.
While working with families and children with disabilities, Vanessa saw a need for a yoga program that was more accessible to people with physical, behavioral and cognitive challenges. In the beginning, YEAS yoga was heavily focused on meeting the needs of children on the Autism Spectrum – that’s why the acronym stands for Yoga Education for Autism Spectrum. These days, the program has widened its parameters to cater to the needs of all people with developmental differences and delays.
