Due to the overwhelming positive response to my offering, I realized that a more permanent solution was needed to provide people with a wide variety of Adaptive Yoga, Meditation, Breathwork, Strength and Fitness online live and taped classes.  On a daily basis, people in my classes are sharing how these classes were changing their lives; mentally, physically and emotionally, not only by doing the classes but in the sense of community that was being created as a result of these live classes.  People who have never done Yoga before found that they could do the class, those who had to give up Yoga due to their diagnosis found they now could do it again, individuals were expressing on a daily basis how they felt calmer, happier, stronger and more mobile.  It was truly inspiring to hear their successes and positive experiences.  These individuals now felt they could take an empowered and active step forward in their physical and mental health and wellbeing that they felt they couldn't before. 

Moving forward I have been working on finding a more permanent solution.  I am in the process of trying to launch a Specialized Adaptive Therapy Studio starting Tuesday September 1st, 2020 with a wide variety of taped and live options for those who wish to access them from the comfort and convenience of their own home. 

I started Yoga 15 years ago, Yoga was highly recommended by my Neurologist.  In the last several years due to my MS it has been increasingly difficult for me to get out to the classes, especially in the winter.  I have spent many dollars on classes I couldn’t do, tried programs on DVD, but because of my limitations, I found that I couldn’t keep up for classes that were meant for the masses until now.  Sarah’s classes are adaptable to all ability levels.  She has an ability to teach a class of individuals with many different needs.  We also benefit from the sense of community and belonging that so many of us lose because the abilities this diagnosis takes from us.  This program not only addresses physical health but mental health and wellbeing.

I started doing Yoga in 2010 but due to the spasticity in my legs I was not able to do the standing yoga positions and couldn’t find a consistent long-term class for people with limited abilities until Sarah came along.  Sarah has so many different options for each pose that I am able to do a whole class whether it’s a good or bad day.  It has been wonderful to be back doing yoga!  My legs are getting stronger, less spasticity and more flexibility with each class.  Thanks to Sarah I’m getting back a part of me that I lost a long time ago.  She is helping people from Newfoundland to British Columbia who are in need, mentally and physically, of exercise and companionship with others who understand them and their challenges.

Doing yoga classes with Sarah has been an amazing experience for my 13 year old daughter with FASD. She is patient and her teaching methods were easy for her to understand and follow. My daughter always feels calm and grounded after the classes.   In the past, it was difficult to get my daughter to engage in any fitness activities due to her high anxiety. Sarah’s online format gives my daughter the ability to take the classes in the comfort of her bedroom, and turn her video off if she chooses to. She doesn’t feel the pressure of other people watching and is able to participate in the class in a way that is perfect for her needs.

To work in any capacity with individuals with special needs, specifically Autism Spectrum Disorder, one must possess a special quality in their character.  This person must be able to identify the level of need and how to best serve those needs.  Sarah Robson-Bily excels in this capacity.  I know this because she works with my two adult children with Autism Spectrum Disorder.   She has exceeded my expectations as an instructor in dealing with my son's needs.  No matter the level of ability, she makes yoga achievable for everybody.  She demonstrates alternative methods to approach each pose depending on the individual’s skill level.  Sarah draws out progress and success from each and every client, making yoga and wellness accessible for all. My sons are less anxious, more focused and healthier for it.
