The DeafYoga Foundation is a Deaf-based non-profit organization dedicated to the newest Yoga movement... Deaf Yoga. We are committed to uniting the Deaf and Yoga communities through a variety of networks, offerings and volunteers. In fact, we are 100% volunteer-based 501(c)(3) charitable  organization whose mission is to serve as an education and resource center for the global Deaf yoga community and its members, creating and ensuring equal access to the transformative teachings of Yoga. With members worldwide, DYF is a leader in sharing classical yoga texts in American Sign Language (ASL) and a pioneer in the “equal access” movement in Yoga.

Our vision includes all peoples, all cultures, all languages, all Yogas and is the living, breathing essence of this practice... UNION.
