Mission & Vision
OUR MISSION
Move Through Yoga expands access to yoga for individuals with intellectual, developmental, and physical disabilities through inclusive, adaptive programs and training for the professionals and caregivers who support them.
VISION
We envision a world where everyone experiences the benefits of yoga—where individuals of all abilities, educators, and families embrace the transformative power of movement and mindfulness without barriers. By integrating adaptive practices and regulation strategies into schools, community spaces, and beyond, Move Through Yoga aims to reshape perceptions, cultivate inclusion, and inspire a future where wellness belongs to all.
Equity commitment
At Move Through Yoga, we believe wellness should be accessible to everyone. We are committed to creating inclusive spaces where individuals of all abilities feel seen, supported, and empowered. Through adaptive practices, education, and advocacy, we work to eliminate barriers so that every person can experience the benefits of movement, mindfulness, and community.
Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion Statement of Principle:
Honoring Every Individual
We embrace the broadest definition of diversity, recognizing and valuing all sentient beings for who they are. Our community is a space where everyone is welcomed just as they are, fostering belonging and authenticity.
The Power of Shared Experiences
We believe in the profound social-emotional learning that comes from connecting with peers of diverse academic, athletic, and socio-economic backgrounds. These interactions cultivate empathy, understanding, and a stronger, more inclusive community.
Collaboration for Meaningful Impact
Lifelong learning thrives through collaboration. We are committed to fostering an unwavering spirit of cooperation between departments, educators, caregivers, and all who support our students. By amplifying diverse voices and perspectives, we create a richer, more effective learning environment.
Supporting Care Teams, Strengthening Communities
Every individual who supports a person with IDD plays a crucial role. By equipping care teams with mind-body connection tools, we enhance their well-being—empowering them to foster healthier relationships and stronger support systems.
DEI at the Core of Our Work
Diversity, equity, and inclusion are not just ideals—they are central to our daily practices. We are committed to embedding accessibility and equity into every aspect of our organization, ensuring that our programs, policies, and partnerships reflect our dedication to an inclusive world.
