    Yoga is for Everyone

    Absolutely everyone can do yoga.
    Yes, you read that right!

    With YEAS, we have taught yoga classes to people from all walks of life. Those with Autism, Down Syndrome, Hearing Impairment, Visual Impairment, those usually confined to a wheelchair, have all participated in yoga classes. We have worked with typically developing kids, right through to kids with significant behavioral challenges. From those with considerable wealth, to those housed in homeless shelters – YEAS yoga has been available to all.

    The beauty of our yoga classes is that everyone can participate and everyone is welcome. We modify our teaching to meet the needs of people to whom yoga doesn’t usually reach. To the deaf child, we give visual cues and to the blind, we provide tactile stimulation. To the people in wheelchairs, we run chair yoga classes – or if we can – we get them out of the chair and on the yoga mat.

    Since YEAS is open to all people, we can’t wait to meet the people we will be practicing yoga with in the future. If you have ever wondered if yoga is available to your child, or young adult with a disability, wonder no more. Contact us via info@yeasyoga.com (regardless of where you live) and we will try to connect you to a YEAS teacher near you. If there are no certified YEAS yoga teachers in your area, with your partnership we can endeavor to host a teacher training in your area.
