“In 2012, my family moved from Texas to Florida, bringing with it a fresh start—and new challenges. My son, Michael, who has Autism, struggled with the transition. During a meeting for Michael’s IEP, I met Stefanie from Move Through Yoga. She suggested Michael try yoga. That suggestion changed everything.

Yoga became a form of Occupational Therapy for Michael, strengthening his body, improving his focus, and enhancing his social skills. It gave him the confidence to graduate and even helped him secure a job at a hospital. His passion for yoga led him to become the first person with Autism to achieve a 200-hour RYT certification. Now, he leads yoga workshops, raises money for autism programs, and inspires others daily.”
