Whether you’re a CEO, a teacher, a firefighter, a caregiver or a child learning to navigate stress, mindful breath offers a profound path back to presence. At Modified Ability Yoga in Greenville, SC, I (Jane) bring breath-based mindfulness into every session—infusing it into traditional classes, adaptive poses and disability-friendly practices alike—so that every person can find calm, clarity and connection.
Deliberate, mindful breathing activates the body’s parasympathetic nervous system, counteracting the stress response and leading to reduced anxiety, lower blood pressure and improved mood.
Even just five minutes of structured breath practice can significantly ease anxiety and regulate the nervous system
Mindful breathing isn’t just for physically able yogis—it’s transformational for individuals with disabilities, chronic conditions or cognitive needs. Breath practices:
Improve respiratory function and lung capacity, which can dramatically support in populations with limited mobility or spinal injuries
Support emotional regulation, including reducing overwhelm in neurodiverse, non-verbal or trauma-sensitive individuals
Enhance focus, presence and self-awareness across ages and abilities
Helps to lower heart rate, calms muscle tension and balances blood pressure
Reduces symptoms of anxiety, insomnia and chronic stress in as little as five minutes per day
Can help build emotional resilience and cognitive clarity without requiring movement or verbal participation
While I doesn’t offer standalone mindful breath classes, I always integrate it into every session—whether it’s traditional instruction, adaptive poses or yoga for people with disabilities. This approach means:
Breath becomes a grounding tool during movement
Clients learn simple techniques that support calm across daily life
Even non-verbal clients can connect through my modeled breath rhythm and audible cues
In Greenville, SC (or online), I can work with:
Busy professionals seeking stress relief
Families and caregivers striving for presence amidst challenges
Individuals with limited mobility, chronic illness or sensory needs
Educators, retirees, first responders and children
Mindful breath is so beautifully accessible and inclusive—because no prior experience or mobility is required.

I’m honored to share practices, guide you gently and help create options tailored to your journey—one breath at a time.
