signing yoga teachers from around the world...
This list consists of Deaf yoga teachers from around the world. Since we are still in the first generation Deaf yoga instructors, most of these teachers are hearing who know sign language (skill set ranges), however, we are enthusiastic to add more Deaf yogins to this list. These teachers were not trained through the DeafYoga Foundation, however, we support everyone’s authentic efforts in sharing Yoga within the Deaf community.
If someone you know would like to be listed here, or needs to be removed from our list, please contact us at the DeafYoga Foundation.
