Accessible Yoga
Yoga for all bodies -
Yoga for people with all (dis)abilities
What does accessible Yoga mean?
Accessible Yoga invites every body to practice, because yoga by its nature is inclusive. No matter your age, mobility, abilities, or experience, there is space for you here. With gentle, adapted movements—sitting, standing, or lying down—we awaken body awareness, find calm, feel joy, and discover our own strength. Everyone moves in their own rhythm, guided with care, mindfulness, and heart, so the practice becomes truly yours.

Building Bridges Through Yoga
Project Setukara Yoga
I am connected with the inclusive project Setukara Yoga in Austria, which brings people with and without disabilities together through yoga, art, dance, and music since 2011. Being part of these encounters has deepened my belief that yoga can be a bridge – creating community, connection, and joy beyond limitations.
