We’re so thankful for the opportunity to show what a Move Through Yoga classroom can look like.
We had four students from different backgrounds all practicing the same poses in different ways at their own pace.
Sending our love and gratitude to all of our participants. Thank you for your bravery!

Listen as Latasha Bell shares how Move Through Yoga has helped her daughter, Michaiah, experience better moods, greater relaxation, and improved sleep.
“The connection, the touch, the energy through yoga—the two women who were holding her that I could see really cared for her and really cared about Michaiah’s progress. It was just amazing.”
“After yoga was over, and they put her back in her wheelchair, Michaiah was so calm. She was calm from the yoga studio. She was calm in the car.”
“It’s an amazing thing to have another option outside of medication to help her relax, to sleep, to connect. Yoga offers so many benefits with breathing, stretching my kiddo’s body because she has scoliosis, opening her up, helping her breathe, and she… was into it, and she enjoyed it.”
“We had so many nights in the hospital with Michaiah, not knowing how it was going to end up… To go from that to her doing yoga in a yoga studio, having fun, doing her thing—it was amazing.”
— Latasha Bell, Michaiah’s Mom
