# Yotism Business Description

Yotism is a specialist yoga teacher training school based in Hemel Hempstead that has developed two innovative neurodevelopmental yoga practices: Yoga for Autism and Reflex Yoga. The school combines contemporary understanding of movement and neuro-sensory systems with ancient yoga principles to support children and adults with autism spectrum conditions and neurodivergence.

Yoga for Autism is a practical technique designed to help individuals develop stronger mind-body connections, manage their nervous systems, and improve communication skills. Reflex Yoga uniquely blends Somatic Hatha-inspired movement with neurology and primitive reflex knowledge to restore brain-body balance and support neurological development.

Founded by Nicole Zimbler and Veronika Pena de la Jara, both experienced yoga teachers and neurodevelopmental therapists, Yotism bridges specialist expertise in therapeutic yoga practice. The school stands out by offering fully accredited teacher training programmes whilst operating a nationwide network of qualified practitioners who deliver classes in schools, homes and their dedicated studios in Hertfordshire and Herefordshire.

Yotism serves professionals, parents, teachers and the special educational needs community. Rather than generic yoga instruction, they provide purpose-built training addressing the specific sensory and neurological needs of autistic individuals. Their 200-hour Reflex Yoga Teacher Training and Yoga for Autism programmes enable practitioners to specialise in therapeutic nervous system support, making Yotism a leading authority in neurodevelopmental yoga practice across the UK.
