So grateful for the friends and family who made an effort to plan and celebrate in September for my birthday 🫶. My schedule is crazy but I’m grateful for the friends and family who step up and plan when I don’t have the capacity (those pictured here and not!!!!!).

Chair yoga doesn’t have to be basic or watered down.

Follow for:

🪑 Creative chair yoga sequences
🧱 Practical ways to use props
🧠 Neuro-informed movement ideas
♿ Options that support access without making yoga feel like a lesser version

This sequence moves through:

Warrior II
Reverse Warrior
Side Angle hand on block
Wrist circles

Those wrist circles may look small, but the hands occupy a large area in the brain’s sensory and motor maps. Moving them with attention provides rich input for awareness and coordination.

👋Hi, I’m Abigail. I’m an adaptive yoga educator, teacher trainer and stroke survivor. I teach yoga with more options, more range and more meaningful ways to participate.

Follow if you care about making yoga more accessible and want practical ideas to help you do it well.

My 2025, one month at a time.
 Wins. Work. Ritual. Loss.
 This year wasn’t tidy, but it was real. Joy and grief shared the calendar. That’s what living actually looks like.

Winter Break ❄️

I was starting to turn my life around from the lowest of the lows when I was hit by a sudden stroke. I had started a new job, left a toxic relationship and began teaching yoga for employees at my workplace.

After the stroke, I spent a month in the hospital and a year on disability while trying to relearn how to walk again. I used this time to rehab physically but also to rebuild my relationship with my life.

It would be years before I could walk with stability and comfort again, but I worked hard and completed many forms of therapy and movement programs (including physical therapy, occupational therapy, biomechanics training, neuro vision therapy, and more).

I turned to my yoga practice to feel whole in my body and happier about my life choices. I learned to live healthier, with more compassion, and more commitment to making a positive impact in the world.

I wouldn’t wish a stroke on anyone — but for me, it became an unexpected gift. It sparked the passion I now have for sharing healing practices with others.

This weekend at the Zion Yoga Fest, I got to pour that love into 80+ beautiful souls with Yin Yoga & Kava under the open sky.

Moments like these remind me just how far we can come with effort and willingness to show up. And how life’s hardest chapters can shape us in the most meaningful ways. 💛

What’s something hard you’ve been through that shaped you for the better?

Still integrating…
But I had to share a glimpse of the beauty that cracked my heart open at Zion Yoga Fest. ✨🏜️🧘🏻‍♀️

From breathwork to yin and kava, Kundalini, gong and sound baths, critter visits, and cranes flying overhead—
it felt like the Earth and Spirit were teaching through every moment.

Old friends, new ones, powerful teachers, sacred movement…
I left with tools, laughter, and a heart stretched wider than before. 💚✨

@jojonnie — your 8 Limbs workshop was such a gift. So grateful to be with you again.
@aura_mat + @yogigabriel108 — your biohacking insights are still echoing through me.

But this is a peek at the magic. ✨🏜️🫶🏼🤸🏻‍♀️

We moved, we breathed, we softened.
We drank kava, danced with the desert, and remembered parts of ourselves.
Zion Yoga Fest, thank you. ✨🏜️🙏🏼
Swipe for a weekend that felt like coming home.

So proud of all the healing I’ve done the past couple of years 💗. The feminine energy was unsafe for so many years. When your mother is your first bully there’s alot of unpacking to do and a ton of remothering that has to happen in order to feel safe. I had the best time and am so lucky to be held by the sacred MAAAA.

We hiked, flowed, laughed, paused, and danced.
From desert cliffs to ferns in a shady cavern—Zion gave us everything.
Still can’t believe how alive I felt out there. 🏜️

The women I was with made it even more special—open-hearted, grounded, and full of joy. 💚
This was a moderate and surprisingly easy hike—and I highly recommend it if you’re ever near Zion.
From quiet awe to full-body joy…
This was movement, magic, and Mother Earth at her finest. ✨🌎

What’s a trail, moment, or place that’s moved you lately?
I’d love to hear where nature cracked something open for you too.

Makes perfect sense to me 😄

It took having a stroke to finally let myself slow down and honor the value of rest.

Now I weave together tools that help me live in deeper harmony. Like the tension-melting effects of kava, the stillness of yin, and the magic of sharing it all in stunning places like Zion.

Thank you to everyone who showed up for my Yin & Kava workshop at @zionyogafest. May the calm and clarity you cultivated ripple out into everything you touch 🫶🏽

Flow with us in the heart of Zion — a simple infinity flow you can repeat forever.

Circling breath and movement infinitely like the canyon winds. No end, no beginning. Just presence.

Flowing with the best yoga hearts @the.fox.next.door @therootedpetal @crystallongsmith
