Breathing is not easy for everyone, but it is essential…obviously. For many of us living with a wide array of disabilities, breathing cannot be relied upon as a default enlightenment tool. In this session, we share stories of breathing, singing, and of laughter. We also discuss the all-too-prevalent adaptive yoga assumption that the experience of […]
Heartspace We so often talk about the heartspace, or space around or behind the heart, in our yoga classes. As teachers, we address this sacred space with our own unique concept of why this area matters. Let’s talk about why this space is, or isn’t, important in your teaching. How do you bring the heartspace […]
Join us "off the mat" at a Team Adaptables meeting on the first Wednesday of each month at 1 PM CT. We gather for an hour to share experiences, gain fresh perspectives, and simply be among folks who "get it." There are no "tryouts" to make the Team. Simply being an MBS adaptive student living […]
Horizontal Meets Vertical Through yoga, we practice and teach how to live in all our horizontal and vertical spaces. How do you live and move in 3D and not compromise your dimension? Consider the Vitruvian man represented by a two-dimensional drawing but actually existing front to back, up to down, side to side, and into […]
Join us for this student led, drop in, 10 minute asana practice each month!

Too often, living with a disability is like being in a community of one, even among our closest friends and family. Often our loved ones are the worst listeners because they want to help so badly. This problem of not being heard only amplifies when we interact with the culture at large…and we also know […]
Don’t Forget about Boundary! Boundary feels good! In this session we’ll talk about why the sensation of boundary, whether physical or metaphysical, helps reveal the benefits of a yoga pose and deepen the experience of our students. What sensations emerge from a sense of boundary? How do you integrate Boundary into your teaching? Bring your […]
Wisdom of Disability Matthew Sanford has called living with a disability the “road less travelled” and points out that unique wisdom can be gained along that path. Have a lively, interactive conversation with MBS faculty and students about the relationship between disability and our perceptions of body and mind.
Yoga in a Healthcare Setting Join Amy, along with other healthcare providers, as we talk about incorporating yogic principles into healthcare settings. We’ll discuss the need for a more holistic approach to care, barriers that remain despite increased interest and demand, success stories, implementation strategies, and how this can nourish the providers as well.
