Unfortunately, people with disabilities—whether physical, cognitive or developmental—are sometimes overlooked when it comes to wellness practices like yoga. But the truth is: Yoga is for EVERYONE. When adapted with intention, it becomes an incredibly powerful and affirming form of healing/support.
That’s exactly the heart behind Modified Ability Yoga here in Greenville, SC. I’m Jane Hart, Founder and Teacher, and I specialize in guiding individuals of all abilities—including those who are non-verbal, use wheelchairs, are bed-bound or have limited mobility or mental impairments—into a safe and meaningful (often, developmental) Yoga experience.
Forget the images of Yoga as only handstands and headstands. Adaptive yoga transforms that narrative.
Whether you or your loved one are dealing with challenges like cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, stroke recovery, multiple sclerosis, autism, muscular dystrophy—or simply need a space where modifications are embraced—there is a place for you here.
My approach is rooted in love, listening and adaptability. I work hard to meet each student exactly where they are, offering a custom-fit experience using props, supportive guidance, gentle movement and mindfulness.
Yoga isn’t just calming. Studies show that yoga can help with:
It can become a gateway of freedom, peace and self-expression.
I’ve strived to create something incredibly unique at Modified Ability Yoga, which I affectionately refer to as “MAY.” I’ve worked with a wide range of disabilities and am deeply committed to dignity, respect and accessibility with each session and client. My sessions are offered in-person here in Greenville, but some online opportunities are available.
Whether you’re a caregiver, parent, educator or someone exploring adaptive movement for yourself, there’s a place for you.
You/your loved one don’t need to know how to do yoga.
You/your loved one doesn’t need to be flexible.
You/your loved one only need to be open to exploring what’s possible when movement, breath and compassion come together in one healing space.
