Description
A Path to Inclusive & Adaptive Teaching for All Bodies and Abilities
This 1-Day training is designed for yoga teachers and practitioners who want to make yoga more inclusive, safe, and empowering for all students – regardless of age, ability, body size, or mobility. We will explore how to adapt traditional yoga postures using props, chairs, walls, and accessible sequencing techniques that prioritize joint safety, autonomy, and choice. Trainees will also learn language that supports a trauma-informed and body-affirming environment.
In this training, you will learn:
-
Principles of Accessible Yoga and Inclusive Teaching
-
How to use props creatively and effectively (blocks, bolsters, straps, chairs, walls)
-
How to teach Chair Yoga and Seated Flows

Modifications for common limitations or conditions (e.g., arthritis, injuries, larger bodies, aging bodies)
