We are looking for someone who would be willing to volunteer as a Yoga instructor for our individuals. Our agency supports 23 individuals with various intellectual and physical disabilities. All have an interest in learning new things and meeting new people. We are looking for someone who would be able to do a very basic yoga class for our individuals, at our office in King of Prussia, maybe once per month or less. The class would be for less than 10. Please reach out to me directly if interested! Leslie.Healy@comop.org. If the individuals enjoy the class, we would consider paying for sessions.

Mission Statement
This mission of Community Options Business Advisory Council is to promote integration of persons with disabilities within the communities in which they reside, enabling them to become contributing neighbors, employees and citizens of the community.
Description
Community Options, Inc. was incorporated on February 9, 1989 to develop residential and employment supports for people with severe disabilities. Since its inception, Community Options has been devoted to serving individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, thus cultivating a reputation for providing exceptional person-centered services that are unique to each individuals’ needs. With a mission to develop housing and employment opportunities for people with disabilities, Community Options believes in the dignity of every person, and in the freedom of all people to experience the highest degree of self-determination. Throughout its history, Community Options has participated in institutional closure and community residential placement for thousands of people across several states. As a national agency, COI does not administer any large programs; rather, we recognize that people with the most severe disabilities require environments, equipment, clinical staff, and supports that are individualized and tailored to their specific needs. COI programs and services include community-based living, employment supports, high school transition programs, and specialized programs for respite and medically fragile people with disabilities.
