Yoga teachers seeking to broaden their skills, including those who teach general public classes. Healthcare providers and caregivers are also welcome, as are support partners interested in exploring accessible yoga.

More confidence when a student needs a different approach. Develop practical ways to respond when familiar instructions or postures aren’t working for someone.

• A deeper understanding of asana. Learn to recognize the purpose behind a posture so you can offer meaningful options in different forms.

• Stronger observation skills. Become more attentive to how students move and better able to ask useful questions without making assumptions about their abilities.

• A broader teaching toolbox.

-Understand the purpose behind the posture. Explore principles of asana that can inform
your teaching across different bodies and settings.
-Expand your teaching options. Practice ways to use chairs and other props to create
meaningful access to yoga.
-Develop your observation skills. Learn to respond to the student in front of you without
assuming that a diagnosis tells their whole story.
-Refine your language. Offer clear instruction that respects adult learners and
encourages students to make their own choices.
-Explore the role of support. Consider when assistance is useful and how consent guides
your approach.

A Manual will be distributed at the start of the program.
