Meet Willow, River & Luna

Three friends, three ways to move. There is no one right way to do yoga — there is your way.

Willow

Willow's way — seated

Hi, I'm Willow! I zoom around in my wheelchair, and I do yoga right from my chair. My favorite thing is pressing my hands into my wheels and growing tall like a mountain.

Willow's favorite moves

  • Shows poses from a wheelchair or a seat
  • Loves strong, steady breathing and big stretches
  • Reminds us that every pose has a seated way

River

River's way — supported

Hello, I'm River! I like to keep one hand on my chair or the wall so I feel steady and safe. When I'm ready, I try a little more — and when I need a break, I hold on. That's my way.

River's favorite moves

  • Uses a chair, wall, or helper for balance
  • Goes at their own pace, step by step
  • Reminds us that support makes us strong

Luna's way — standing

Hey there, I'm Luna! I love to stand tall, reach for the sky, and wiggle like jelly. Sometimes I stand on one foot, sometimes I jump — moving my body makes me feel amazing!

Luna's favorite moves

  • Shows standing and balancing poses
  • Loves big movements, wiggles, and jumps
  • Reminds us that trying new things is fun
