All Ages
Whether you are young or old we welcome anyone who might be feeling skeptical about joining an adaptive yoga class for the first time. We want you to know that our classes are designed specifically for individuals like you and our experienced teachers are trained to create an inclusive and safe environment. Disability yoga meets you where you are.
All Abilities
You might have a severe disability or you might have aches and pains. This is yoga for people with disabilities, a judgment free zone, where you can practice at your own pace. Our adaptive yoga classes are tailored to meet the unique needs and abilities of each student, so you can rest assured that you’ll get the support and guidance to feel at ease.
Who is Adaptive Yoga suitable for?
Adaptive Yoga is suitable for anyone who doesn’t feel comfortable in a mainstream yoga studio - especially those with injuries, limitations, disabilities or those who are elderly.
“My weekly yoga session allows my body stillness. I am paraplegic, and I suffer with neuropathic pain. This is exhausting, and despite taking medications which make me drowsy, the need for sleep is overwhelming. Adaptive yoga is my salvation, and no one should be without it” - Siby Boyd
Why does Adaptive Yoga work?
1) It takes away the fear of movement
2) Deep breathing and meditation that accompany yoga produce a state of calm
3) Gentle movement can effectively increase muscle tone, improve balance, and help manage pain
4) Practicing adaptive yoga bonds you with other Disabled people who are all on the same journey of self discovery and self compassion.
