Join Jessica Parsons for “Inclusive Yoga for All”
Jessica is the first person with Down Syndrome to become a certified yoga teacher. Her inclusive classes are meant to provide equal opportunities to those who may have intellectual and/or physical disabilities. She welcomes students, staff, family and friends. If you have never attended such a diverse class, we highly recommend it for everyone. We know you will have a great time, practice a variety of yoga poses and leave smiling!
Jessica and her students created a booklet to practice their yoga poses over the summer break. Take a look and perhaps you will be inspired to join us in the fall.
