In the past many of the yoga teachers we partner with have had Deaf or HOH students come to class with an interpreter and it works, though feedback from students – it is a better experience if the teacher signs the class in Auslan. So we are passionate about working with funders and councils to provide Auslan classes making yoga accessible for Deaf, HOH, CODA and Auslan users.
