Have you ever thought, “I’m committed to creating a welcoming and inclusive environment for ALL students, but I don’t quite feel equipped to teach folks with disabilities, larger bodies, or seniors.” If this sounds like where you’re at, you’re invited to join Jivana Heyman for the upcoming AccessibleYoga Training Online. This 35-hour course was specifically designed to help teachers bring the universal teachings of yoga to ALL practitioners by creating accessible, integrated classes through the practical understanding of yoga philosophy, trauma-informed teaching practices, and a vast toolkit for adapting asana and meditation to suit every body in the room. In this training, you’ll learn...
The benefits of an accessibleyoga practice, plus specific benefits and concerns related to common medical conditions
How to determine safe and appropriate variations of common asanas for a range of physical abilities, whether on a mat, in a chair, at a wall, or in bed
How to implement props to make yogaaccessible to all
How to create integrated AccessibleYoga classes where students of different abilities can practice together
The many ways that yoga can be adapted to suit students with disabilities, physical challenges, seniors, children with disabilities, people with larger bodies, and more
How to make your classes welcoming to everyone, to empower students with agency, and to approach students in a trauma-informed way
How to make pranayama and meditation available for all students, regardless of ability
How to apply the teachings of yoga philosophy in day-to-day life
How to address the obstacles to making yogaaccessible, including racism, cultural appropriation, ableism, and more, with an amazing faculty of guest teachers.
