Community Class | Our Presence Has Purpose

Celebrate Disability Pride Month and join our online seated adaptive and accessible yoga class. This event is Adaptive which means it will allow you to adapt all the movements to your own wonderful and unique body, and Accessible because it’s open to the entire community -- disabled and non-disabled folks alike. Disability both diminishes and magnifies, and we will wholeheartedly celebrate the diversity of the human experience. You'll be invited to inhabit your body gently and kindly through breath, movement, music, awareness, and meditation—a genuinely nourishing, intimate, embodied experience with your Self.

Props: If you do not use a wheelchair to travel the World, we kindly ask you to show up with a sturdy chair and a few props.

“Freedom from & Freedom to” Flow

The word freedom comes from the English word FRĒODŌM , a state of emancipation, liberty, or free will. This word is composed of: free or “FRĒO,” indicating an exemption from something and “DŌM” is a suffix in Old English indicating judgement or condemnation.

Designed and led by Nana Amoako-Anin, this practice carves out space for us to explore FREE-dom. Freedom from elements of life that are blocking our progress. Offering us space to experience joy.

Going deep into movements for the FREE-body, this vinyasa flow class is a mix of heart-openers and grounding poses. This practice will begin with contemplation and reflection about what freedom means to each of us. We will ponder how our self-beliefs may prevent progress. The practice will encourage openness and release.

The class will end with a brief question and answer session led by Rodrigo Souza (he/him), Adaptive & Accessible Yoga Teacher and founder of Allihopa Yoga.

Items to bring: yoga mat, yoga block, and journal
