The DeafYoga Foundation’s mission is to share traditional Yoga teachings with the Deaf and Signing community.  Although open to all*, our vision is to introduce and support Deaf people in their efforts to begin a Yoga practice or become an avid instructor in today's world.


The DeafYoga Foundation (DYF) is a non-profit organization that focuses on serving the 28 million Deaf and hard of hearing people that reside in United States.  Currently in the U.S., there are only nine yoga teachers for the Deaf community and only one is a Deaf instructor.  These numbers alone show the importance of reaching a community who is just being introduced to the world of Yoga.


The DeafYoga Foundation relies on your donations and offerings to continue our service projects & programs.  It is through your support and willingness to serve, that we are able to create equal access for all who seek to learn yoga and may otherwise not have the opportunity.  Thank you for visiting, may Grace continue to guide you.
