About
Adaptive Yoga LIVE was founded by Miranda McCarthy in April 2020 in response to the isolation of the COVID-19 pandemic, and continues to provide free, inclusive yoga classes for people with disabilities, chronic illness, and mobility limitations. Miranda is a member of the International Association of Accessibility Professionals.
What It Does
Adaptive Yoga LIVE delivers free weekly live chair yoga and adaptive yoga sessions via Zoom, along with recorded classes freely available on YouTube. Sessions are approximately 60 minutes and incorporate gentle movements, breathwork, and relaxation — all fully accessible from a chair or wheelchair. Free audio meditations are also available on the website.
Who It Helps
Wheelchair users, people with physical disabilities and chronic illness, seniors with mobility limitations, and their carers. Every class is free, beginner-friendly, and designed to be inclusive of all abilities.
