The Yoga Wave 2025
Thank you to our amazing students, volunteers, and partners and sponsors for joining us on November 11 for one of the most joy-filled, supported, and inclusive events we’ve ever hosted! This year, we welcomed 657 students from DPS, DSST, and Aurora Public Schools—alongside more than 50 volunteers and 40 community partners—for a day of connection. Together, we moved, breathed, and co-regulated. Students explored new resources, built meaningful connections, and experienced a day devoted entirely to belonging and empowerment.
All Minds and Bodies Welcome

Why Adaptive Yoga?
Greater Self-Regulation
Adaptive yoga empowers individuals with I/DD to manage emotions, reduce stress, and navigate daily challenges with confidence and calm.
Joyful Socialization
Parents, educators, support staff, and peers practice alongside students with disabilities, fostering healthy habits and meaningful social connections.
Enhanced Proprioception
Adaptive yoga helps individuals with I/DD improve body awareness, coordination, and movement, fostering greater control.
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
