Join Kate Skaggs for a 3 - week series designed for all abilities.
All too often, yoga practices are taught in ways that are inaccessible and alienating. But yoga is for everyone... at every stage of life... no matter your current abilities and capacities.
This series is held online, so you can practice from the comfort of your home and will recorded as well if there is a better time of day to practice. You will be guided on how to utilize common household items, such as chairs and cushions, to make the physical practices more comfortable and stable.
The intention of this series is to meet you where you are with your yoga practice by encouraging agency, curiosity, and steady connection with breath. Each class will follow a similar structure including guided meditation (concentration and visualization techniques), pranayama (energy work directed by the breath), asana (yoga postures) and overall gentle and restorative movement practices.
Great for folks with limited mobility, recovering from injury, brand new to yoga, or just want to take it a bit more slowly. Please reach out to Kate if you have questions about whether this series is suitable for you, considering your various access needs.

About Kate Skaggs (she/they)
A curiosity of exploring inner and outer landscapes gently pulled me into practicing yoga many years ago. The practice offered a small space in the day to slow down, be more deliberate about where I focused my attention, and heal.
I am actively, humbly, working to dismantle my internalized implicit biases but know that I will make mistakes; accountability and integrity matter to me and I am working to grow those skills when the impact of my words or actions cause harm. The linkage of yoga philosophy to the rest of life is what I hope to hold space for others to explore through asana (postures) in a similar way; taking experiences from one’s own mat back out into daily life.
I am especially passionate about offering classes accessible to people who are curious about yoga and am dedicated to providing many different suggestions for ways of engaging with these practices.
Digital drafting has become an interesting topic because it connects creative thinking with technical accuracy. Learning how drawings are prepared can also improve communication between designers and construction teams. While researching this subject, I came across information about cad technician training that explained the responsibilities of the role in an easy-to-follow way. The guide from the College of Contract Management helped me understand the software, skills, and career progression involved. I appreciate resources that focus on helping learners make informed decisions before choosing a course. Anyone interested in this profession may find it worth exploring and could consider enrolling if it matches their goals.
This post beautifully highlights how accessible yoga can encourage gentle movement, mindfulness, and confidence for people with different abilities. Creating supportive practices is essential, and the principles of safe moving and handling in care also reinforce the importance of comfort, safety, and respecting individual needs while providing assistance. A thoughtful reminder that movement can be inclusive and empowering.

I was going through some coding discussions and noticed people often talk about getting stuck while programming, especially when the logic starts getting more complex than expected. Someone casually mentioned the hr assignment help uk in the middle of the thread, and it made sense because sometimes you just need a different explanation style to understand things properly. Programming itself isn't impossible, but it does feel strict with syntax and structure, so even a small mistake can stop the whole program from working. I keep running into issues where I understand the concept but fail when writing the actual code, especially with loops and object-based problems. It gets a bit frustrating when debugging takes longer than writing the code itself.…
One area that regularly attracts attention in construction-related discussions is quantity surveying courses, particularly among those interested in cost management and procurement. Project valuation and financial planning are often mentioned. The College of Contract Management provides online education covering these subjects.
