# Yotism Business Description
Yotism is a specialist yoga teacher training school based in Hemel Hempstead that has developed two unique forms of neurodevelopmental yoga: Yoga for Autism and Reflex Yoga. Founded by Nicole Zimbler and Veronika Pena de la Jara, the organisation combines decades of expertise in yoga therapy with contemporary understanding of neuro-sensory systems and primitive reflex development.
The business serves children and adults with autism spectrum conditions and neurodivergence, alongside professionals, teachers, and parents seeking to support these populations. Their Yoga for Autism programme is specifically designed to help individuals build body awareness, manage their nervous systems, release emotions, and develop improved communication skills through gentle, accessible practice.
Reflex Yoga is distinctive in the field, blending Somatic Hatha-inspired movement with neurology to restore balance between brain and body, making it particularly valuable for those with developmental challenges.
What sets Yotism apart is their fully accredited teacher training programmes—including a comprehensive 200-hour Reflex Yoga Teacher Training—delivered by highly experienced and skilled therapists. Rather than operating in isolation, they've built a nationwide network of practitioners running classes across multiple locations. Their work extends into schools, homes, outreach settings, and their dedicated studios in Hertfordshire and Herefordshire, ensuring yoga's transformative benefits reach those who need it most.
