Community Yoga New London partners with schools, nonprofits, community organizations, and programs serving special populations to bring accessible, inclusive yoga directly to the people they serve.
CYNL was created around the belief that yoga should be accessible to everyone, not just those who feel comfortable walking into a traditional yoga studio. Our classes are welcoming, adaptable, and designed with real bodies and real communities in mind.
We especially welcome partnerships with:
Schools and educational programs
Organizations serving people with disabilities and special needs
Youth and senior programs
Community and neighborhood organizations
Nonprofits and social service organizations
Organizations working toward racial, LGBTQ+, disability, economic, and other forms of social justice
Groups serving communities that have historically had less access to yoga and wellness spaces
Every community is different, so classes can be adapted to meet the needs of your group.
Organizations can request a one-time class, special event, or multi-class series. Classes may incorporate mat yoga, chair yoga, or a combination of both, with options and modifications offered throughout.
You don't need previous yoga experience, special clothing, or a certain level of flexibility or mobility to participate.
Accessibility isn't an afterthought at CYNL, it is part of how we teach.
Classes emphasize choice and encourage participants to explore movement in ways that feel appropriate for their own bodies. Whenever possible, multiple ways of approaching a pose or movement are offered, including seated and chair-based options.
Our goal isn't for everyone in the room to look the same. It's to create an environment where more people have the opportunity to experience movement, breath, rest, and connection in a way that feels welcoming and supportive.
If your school, nonprofit, or community organization would like to bring Community Yoga New London to the people you serve, we'd love to hear from you.
Tell us a little about your organization, who you serve, and what you're hoping to offer. We'll work together to determine what kind of class or series might best meet your community's needs.
Community partnership classes are offered based on instructor availability, scheduling, location, and the needs of each group. Submitting a request does not guarantee availability, but we will do our best to accommodate requests that align with CYNL's mission and capacity.
