**American Sign Language Yoga Class**
In a groundbreaking initiative, Just Breathe yoga studio, under the direction of Pat Perrier, has expanded its offerings to include a monthly American Sign Language (ASL) yoga class. This class is taught by Mindy Minaeri, a seasoned yoga instructor and sign language interpreter with over a decade of experience.
Minaeri’s passion for bridging the divide between hearing and deaf communities inspired her to bring yoga to the underserved deaf population. Recognizing the need for accessible wellness practices, she designed this class to cater specifically to their unique needs.
During the ASL yoga class, the studio space transforms into a silent sanctuary where hands take center stage. Minaeri employs clear and precise signing techniques to convey instructions. The slower pace of the class allows participants to gracefully combine physical movements with signing, ensuring their full engagement.
