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're about more than just being a yoga instruction business; 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: Empowering Yoga Studios and Instructors
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 relevant legislation and regulations, and teaching them how to attract students who have a disability.
We empower yoga studios and instructors by providing 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 community.
