The Centre for Disability Inclusive Yoga
Welcome to the Centre for Disability Inclusive Yoga
At Disability Inclusive Yoga, we believe in empowering instructors and studio owners to be disability aware and confident, which opens up the practice of yoga for people of all abilities. Our learning modules ensure that every instructor will learn about disability and create a culture of inclusion where every body can experience the benefits of yoga in a supportive and welcoming environment.
About us
This journey began with a simple question fueled by a deep passion: how accessible and inclusive is my Yoga Studio?
That led to another question: how disability aware and confident are yoga instructors and studio owners?
At the Centre for Disability Inclusive Yoga we are empowering yoga studios and instructors to be disability inclusive. Our approach is rooted in quality and integrity, ensuring that everything we do reflects our commitment to inclusion, accessibility, diversity, and excellence.
Our Mission:
To make Yoga disability inclusive everywhere
Inspired by the fact that 28% of the population identifies as a person who has a disability, yet the yoga community often doesn't reflect that. The Centre strives to make this change. We help studios and instructors overcome challenges by demystifying disability; increasing awareness; explaining inclusion, ableism and intersectionality; and teaching how to attract students who have a disability.
We provide an understanding of disability, and provide resources on how to create accessible studio spaces, how to build disability inclusive teams, and how to engage with the local disability community.
