Offering access with each cue means blending visual & verbal guidance so all practitioners can participate.

🧠 Let’s break it down
In adaptive yoga group settings, students often have a wide range of abilities and process information differently, so offering multiple ways to engage ensures everyone can participate.

⬇️ Here are a few ways you can start integrating verbal and visual cues into your classes

Visual cues
• Showing a photo
• Physically demonstrating
• Offering side by said visuals (physically showing the posture while having a photo nearby)

Verbal Cues
• Saying the pose name clearly
• Sharing the pose or practice name multiple times
• Giving clear, simple direction
• Giving 1-2 step directions

Our top 5 “rules” we follow

1. We welcome sound and expression- stimming, verbal communication, laughter, movement and sound are all part of our classes!

2. We always prioritize safety and inclusion over performance or perfection.

3. We use a verity of props and cueing techniques to foster accessibility.

4. We welcome a wide range of cognitive and physical abilities into each community class- chair practitioners and able bodied practitioners all practice together!

5. Parents and caretakers are allowed to practice next to the practitioner to ensure safety, comfort, and connection.

While there are TONS of practices our instructors follow, these are just a few of our standards to help redefine what yoga classes can offer to people of all abilities.
