Yoga & Mindfulness for Neurodiverse Children

Founded in 2022, Happy Yoga offers fun and engaging classes thoughtfully designed for the neurodiverse community, meeting each child’s unique needs through movement, mindfulness, and breath. 

Led by Priya Gopalakrishnan, an RYT-200 certified yoga teacher with specialized training in Yoga for Special Needs and Vulnerable Communities, our sessions create a nurturing space where mindful breathing and movement work together to support growth and regulation.

At Happy Yoga, we practice adaptive yoga that meets every child where they are — following their lead, celebrating their strengths, and nurturing confidence, focus, and emotional balance.

Ms. Priya is a very patient and a kind teacher. She adjust accordingly to every kids needs and is flexible in her teachings. She makes Miya feel confident in her ability to do some of the harder yoga poses and celebrates her wins with her.
- Ms. Aisha
Passionate & compassionate teacher ❤️
- Ms. Payal
Mrs.Priya is very kind, compassionate person who has a passion for Yoga. She is great in what she does and above all, the patience she has with the special need kids is the important appreciating point. Thank you Priya for everything that you do!
- Ms. Joseph
Very patient and willing to work with the kid instead of on the kid. For autistic kids this is hard to do but she does it very effectively.
- Mr. Gupta
Priya as a person loves what she does and brings her best version on to the yoga mat which makes the kid feel involved. The way she instantly tweaks and incorporates any kind of prop ( my child would bring different props to almost all classes ) into yoga is commendable. Her quality of accepting the pace and ease of the student and through that bringing in yoga into the students life is worth a mention.
- Ms. Vadda
Priya is very patient in dealing with kids, Kids friendly, and very accommodative.
- Ms. Chitra
Priya is a passionate yoga teacher who is knowledgeable about the practice and its benefits. She is able to guide my daughter through poses safely and effectively. Was able to modify and adjust to accommodate different levels of experience and physical ability.

Best of Priya is she pays attention to how she communicates with the child, clear and concise in her instructions, encourages and supports throughout the class while prioritizing safety of the child. Priya accesses and understands the physical/mental limitation of the child and encourages children to explore their practice without judgment and competition.
- Ms. Preeti

"I started practicing yoga with my kid at Happy Yoga about a year ago, and I can honestly say that it has been an amazing experience. Priya is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about yoga, and she creates a very welcoming and supportive environment that makes you feel comfortable no matter your skill level. I always leave feeling more centered and energized than when I arrived.

What I find unique about Happy Yoga is our instructor, Priya. She is extremely patient and spends time and energy in understanding my child and his unique needs and then designs her class accordingly to work on those needs. Her real effort to get to know students personally and then focus on their needs is something I value extremely highly. I am so grateful for everything she does for our kids, and I always look forward to coming to class with my child.

Overall, I would highly recommend Happy Yoga to anyone looking to improve their kids' physical and mental well-being. I find Happy Yoga to be an inspiring space that helps us focus and calms our mind after a stressful day, and helps us grow and thrive."

- Ms. Savita
