Project Active and TeamUCL deliver activities that are suitable for wheelchair users, those with (or without) mobility limitations, and activities that promote positive mental health and wellbeing.

Are Project Active Classes inclusive to neurodivergent students?

While not all Project Active classes may be suitable for neurodivergent students, for instance, sessions like Dance Fit with loud music, there are classes better suited to meet their needs. Sessions such as Guided Meditation and Sound Meditation offer a quieter, more calming environment, providing a more accessible and comfortable experience. We encourage neurodivergent students to explore these options, and we are open to feedback on how we can further improve inclusivity.

Noise

If you are sensitive to loud noises we recommend one of our Sound Meditation or Sound Healing Classes– where the music is soothing volume is kept lower.

Most of our indoor classes,, you can expect the music volume to be higher. However our instructors never use microphones, so the music is only ever at a volume the teacher can talk over.

Sight

We do not use any flashing lights in our classes. The studio has plenty of natural light and on an evening the lights are dimmable. Feel free to request the teacher dim the lights further if you like.

Touch

The only instance you’d expect to be touched is if hands on adjustments are offered in Yoga. This is optional and your consent will be asked for. However in most Project Active Classes no one will ever need to enter your personal space to share equipment. You also have the option to join an online class where you can take part in the class at your own space.
