Fitness & Yoga for Adults of All Abilities in Van Nuys
Two ways to move — energising fitness and gentle yoga — both adapted so every body can take part.
Looking for a fitness program your adult family member can truly take part in? Our inclusive, special-needs–friendly fitness sessions help young adults and adults of all abilities build strength, stamina, and confidence — at a pace that feels right for them. Part of our recreational day program in Van Nuys, every session is welcoming, supportive, and guided by experienced, credentialed staff who know each participant by name. Prefer something calmer? The same program includes gentle, adaptive yoga — scroll down for that.

Movement Adapted for Every Adult
Sessions are adapted so no one sits on the sidelines — gentle pacing, encouragement, and a supportive group where each adult can move, grow stronger, and feel good in their body.
Strength, Energy & Independence
Staying active builds more than muscle. Our fitness program supports mobility, energy for daily life, and the confidence and independence that carry into everything our participants do. Group sessions add a social boost, too — participants encourage each other and build friendships set by set.

Yoga for Young Adults & Adults
Yoga at our Van Nuys center is relaxed, welcoming, and never intimidating. Young adults and adults of all abilities, including those with autism, developmental disabilities, and sensory needs, move through gentle poses and breathing exercises adapted to every body.
The benefits show up quickly: better balance, calmer transitions, and a reliable way to settle when the day feels loud. Mats are optional, chairs are welcome, and every session ends with the kind of quiet that participants carry into the rest of their day.
Adapted poses
Chair, mat, and standing options so every body can join every pose.
Breath & calm
Simple breathing tools participants use far beyond the mat.
Balance & strength
Gentle, steady work that supports everyday movement.
A calm hour
A predictable, soothing rhythm in the middle of an active day.
Sessions are led by experienced, credentialed instructors trained to adapt movement for adults of every ability. Even quiet practice is shared here: moving and breathing together builds a calm kind of togetherness that participants love.
