about

Teaching Adaptive Yoga: Foundations

Many people face barriers that make yoga difficult or impossible to access. In this workshop you’ll explore one way yoga teachers can expand the reach of yoga.

Teaching Adaptive Yoga: Foundations is focused specifically on yoga for people with physical disabilities, mobility restrictions and others who may have felt yoga wasn’t for them. Together we'll explore a practical approach that will help you feel prepared to begin assisting or teaching adaptive yoga. 

Rather than relying on memorized pose variations, you'll learn a framework for adapting poses by understanding what matters most about each pose. This approach will help you meet each student as they are, giving you the confidence to think on your feet and collaborate in the moment.

Adaptive yoga is built on the understanding that teachers and students each bring valuable knowledge to the practice. Rather than feeling pressure to have all the answers, you'll learn to ask thoughtful questions, explore possibilities together and create a practice that honors each student's unique experience. 

WHAT we’ll explore together

Through discussion, experiential practice and hands-on learning, you’ll learn:

  • A creative framework for adapting any yoga pose

  • Principles for creating meaningful variations without relying on memorization

  • Practical considerations for assisting in or teaching adaptive yoga classes

  • Inclusive teaching principles that foster autonomy, collaboration, community and belonging

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

This training is designed for certified yoga teachers and yoga teachers in training.

Those who work with people with disabilities such as health professionals, aides or family members are also welcome, provided they have a working knowledge of basic yoga poses.
