What’s Our Mission?
Open Up’s mission is to expand access to wellbeing through inclusive movement and mindfulness education, centering people with disabilities as we build community and create spaces where everyone belongs. Our programs are open to all who identify as having a disability and those who do not. They are for everyone.
