Yes. Classes are designed with a Supported option throughout; including modifications for wheelchair users, participants with trained service dogs, fatigue or flare states, post-surgical recovery (upon medical providers approval) and chronic illness. Accessibility isn't an accommodation here; it's the foundation the class is built on.

Yes. Classes use a Universal Design approach with a Visual Predictability Board and Traffic Light model, so participants always know what's coming and can self-regulate pacing and sensory input. Cueing avoids diagnostic labels and instead offers clear, predictable, sensory-considerate options; welcoming autistic, ADHD, and other neurodivergent participants without requiring anyone to disclose or explain their neurotype to belong.

No experience is necessary. Come as you are. Every class is designed so beginners and experienced practitioners can practice side by side, each choosing the pathway that fits their body and brain that day.

Yes. All cueing is invitational and trauma-informed, meaning you're never required to explain your story, your history, or why you've arrived in order to participate fully.

Nourich™ Universal Design Yoga is diversity-friendly to both secular and non-secular participants. The practice draws on ancestral wisdom and evidence-based care without requiring any particular spiritual belief; participants are welcome to engage the movement, reflection, and creative practice through a secular lens or to bring their own faith tradition into it. No belief system is required to belong.

Nourich™ Universal Design Yoga integrates yoga with NeuroArts; reading, writing, and creative expression; inside the Roots · Routes · Rise · Glow™ framework, so each class moves through reflection and creativity alongside physical movement, not just physical movement alone.

The Grit & Glow Method™ is the class format of Nourich™ Universal Design Yoga; a sequence that moves participants through grounding, movement, reflection, and creative expression, closing with a shared benediction.

Nourich™ is based in Philadelphia, PA, bringing NeuroArts and Universal Design Yoga directly into the neighborhood. But it can be accessible worldwide through virtual classes and in person with advanced notice.

No. Hardship and trauma are part of the human experience, and Nourich™ never assumes why someone has arrived. Classes are for anyone seeking movement, connection, and healing; whatever brought them to the mat.
