Open Up: Supported Yoga for Autism

This is an affinity group for any participant identifying as autistic; their caregiver, family, and friends are welcome. Many participants in this class are supported by a caregiver, friend, parent, or communication partner to help facilitate their experience. The focus of this class will be learning to link breath with movement to encourage a deeper understanding and connection with our physical bodies. This is a slower moving class with ample time for transitions.

At times during classes, some participants may need to make sudden movements or sounds. This class is suitable for participants 18+ and is usually led by Anna Marshall.

Open up classes are designed to be accessible for people with and without disabilities. They are for everyone! We consider all of our classes “sensory sensitive/friendly”, and our facilitators work to meet the unique needs of the students in the class and create a supportive environment. If you have a support need that you’d like to let us know about, or a question about the class email us at info@open-up.org.
