Sindhu Shanker

I am Dr. Sindhu Shanker, holding a Ph.D. in Yoga, an M.A. in Special Educational Needs (SEN), an M.Sc. (Yoga), and a B.Sc. in Zoology. My experience as a special educator and yoga therapist, includes working with children with special needs. My work has focused on designing differentiated curricula and exploring yoga’s holistic potential for children with developmental challenges.
My doctoral research examined yoga as a therapeutic intervention for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in special school settings, highlighting its role in managing behavioral, social, and emotional aspects.
I am passionate about making yoga inclusive and accessible, integrating other evidence-based alternative approaches to support our physical, physiological, and psychological well-being. Additionally, I enjoy writing and exploring ancient Vedic wisdom, interpreting its timeless insights through contemporary perspectives on wellness, yoga, psychology, and education.
