Accessibility & Belonging: The Open Sanctuary
At Mindful Marlyss Yoga, I believe that the Alchemy of Return should be a path available to every body. My commitment to you is a space—both digital and physical—that honors your unique needs and ensures you can navigate your journey with ease and dignity.
Digital Accessibility
I am continuously working to ensure that this website is accessible to everyone, regardless of technology or ability. I strive to adhere to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.1), which define requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities.
-
Visuals: I use high-contrast colors and clear fonts to support ease of reading.
-
Navigation: My site is designed to be navigable by keyboard and compatible with screen readers.
-
Ongoing Work: Alchemy is a process of refinement. If you encounter any barriers on this site, please reach out to me at [Your Email] so I can personally assist you and improve the experience for others.
Somatic & Physical Accessibility
In our Bespoke Immersions, your physical safety and comfort are my primary laboratory.
-
Prop Support: We utilize bolsters, blocks, and chairs to ensure the practice meets your body where it is today.
-
Trauma-Informed Pacing: Every session moves at the speed of your nervous system.
-
Sensory Needs: If you have sensitivities to light, sound, or scent, please let me know during our Sanctuary Arrival call so I can curate your environment accordingly.
You are the sovereign of your experience. If there is a specific accommodation you need to make your return home feel safer, you are always invited to ask.
