Programs

Our virtual and in-studio classes offer practices that activate the parasympathetic nervous system with slow breathing activities and mindful movements, connection with oneself, increasing social connections, lowering blood pressure, building resiliency, cultivating empathy for healthy relationships, and growing confidence to become empowered. We live in a culture where loving and accepting ourselves is a difficult task that can be lifelong. Yoga can positively support this journey by connecting with our bodies and making the process of loving ourselves just a little bit easier. Check out our class schedule for a variety of class offerings, workshops, Community Support groups and Mindful Grief Support.

This a full day Mindfulness Retreat offered for students with Intellectual and/or Developmental Disabilities.Throughout the Mindfulness Retreats we  explore nature, mindfulness activities (such as nature mandala making, sensory activities, art projects, etc.), mindful movement practices while offering healthy lunches and scheduled mindful snack breaks.

Our onsite staff includes Certified Nursing Assistants, Behavior Analysts and qualified Adaptive and All Abilities Yoga Teachers.

All Abilities training is specifically designed to be accessible for those with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities. This training will be facilitated by GBH Instructors, veteran students w/IDD and overseen by an Advisory Council made up of established disability activists and adaptive yoga teachers. The peer-to-peer apprenticeship training will draw from evidence-based practices such as positive reinforcement, task analyses, shaping, acoustical and guidance to create effective training with the capacity to individualize teaching components as needed so that people of all abilities have the opportunity to successfully reach their social and job readiness goals.
