Equality Means Nothing Without Accessibility
"If everyone’s invited but no one can get through the door, is it really inclusive?"
We love to talk about equality in the wellness world—but rarely do we talk about accessibility. Not just ramps and captions (though those matter deeply), but the invisible barriers that keep people from even considering wellness spaces as an option.
Accessibility is about removing shame, gatekeeping, and one-size-fits-all thinking. It’s about making wellness feel possible—not perfect.
Let’s Talk About the Real Barriers
You want to join a yoga class, but:
You’re neurodivergent and the space is overstimulating.
You’re plus-sized and worry about being judged.
You’re a carer and can’t afford childcare.
You work shifts and nothing fits your schedule.
You’re disabled and the venue isn’t accessible.
You want to go on retreat, but:
There’s no flexible pricing.
The facilitators don’t understand your lived experience.
You fear you’ll be the only one who looks like you.
These are not personal problems. They are design problems.
How Accessibility Creates Equality
When we design wellness spaces for the margins, everyone benefits.
🧠 Neurodiverse-friendly practices – Quiet spaces, consent-based adjustments, and clear structure help everyone regulate better.
🧘🏽 Body-inclusive movement – Offering modifications, props, and language that celebrates all bodies invites deeper healing.
🗣️ Clear communication – Sharing what to expect ahead of time reduces anxiety and builds trust.
🎟️ Sliding scale pricing + transparency – Money shouldn’t be the price of admission for healing.
🚪 Choice-based entry – From noise to touch to participation, people deserve autonomy over how they engage.
What REESET Is Doing
We’re far from perfect. But we’re listening. And learning. At every retreat and event, we ask: Who might feel left out of this? And how can we make it easier for them to say yes?
We:
Offer flexible pricing models.
Collaborate with facilitators from diverse backgrounds.
Provide detailed pre-event info to support neurodivergent guests.
Create sensory-friendly moments in programming.
Always leave room for feedback, growth, and change.
The Invitation That Counts
Equality means nothing if people can’t show up. This May, we’re asking you to look around: What does accessibility mean in your world? And who’s missing because it hasn’t been prioritised?
Wellness should never be out of reach. Let’s REESET the default and design spaces that truly include everyone—from the first invitation to the final breath.
