Learn to Teach
Adaptive Yoga

Take the 7-week online yoga teacher training focused on teaching yoga to people in non-traditional yoga bodies.

Yoga for people of all shapes, sizes, and abilities.

As a yoga teacher, you want to make your classes a wonderful experience for every student that walks through your door. The last thing you want to do is make a student feel frustrated, singled out, or ashamed on their yoga mat.

...But sometimes, that’s exactly what happens.

Yoga in a larger body

Larger-bodied and differently-abled students often leave yoga feeling frustrated. Maybe the teacher didn’t know how to modify poses, forcing the student to squeeze, stumble, and crunch themselves into the pose. Maybe the teacher just ignored the student, leaving them feeling invisible.

Or worse, maybe the teacher singled the student out and offered modifications that implied the student wasn’t doing “real yoga.”

We are two yoga teachers in larger bodies. We know what it’s like to be the largest student in a class! We’ve both been singled out, shamed for our size, and made to feel less-than. We never want that to happen to your students.

That’s why we created Yoga for All, an online yoga certification for teachers who want to teach adaptive and accessible yoga.

Testimonials

Yoga For All has not only helped me understand what it’s like doing yoga in a bigger body, but I can use pose variations with people who have injuries. This training really helped me fill in the gaps where I was not feeling as confident—teaching modifications. I no longer have to feel nervous when a bigger bodied woman or someone who has an injury walks into my class.

Wow! All I can say is wow and I’m inspired. Lesson one module one was like hearing things I may have already heard but for the first time. You ladies teach from your hearts and your passion comes out through your words. This class will most definitely help me be a better me but also a better teacher to everyone. I’m inspired!! Thank you!!!

Yoga For All taught me how to plan a class sequence that encourages students to take poses at their own pace, and to listen to their needs. Instead of directing people into the ‘full pose,’ I start at Bus Stop 1 as the full pose. For example, Tree with your foot on the ground as a kickstand *is* Tree. Period. Then, if students want to, we can perhaps work on going further through more Bus Stops (maybe balance for a moment, maybe put that foot on your lower leg). This technique has been life changing!

I LOVE the idea that my “mat is where I have a cease-fire zone with my body.” When I am assisting there is always someone who is apologizing for their body not doing exactly what they think it should be doing. I offer to them that their mat is their traveling home and that they should do exactly what feels right to them just as they would in their own living room. It’s a good thing to remind myself of as well. Great lesson today. Thank you!

The first module has left me with lots of thoughts. I pride myself on being a positive difference maker, compassionate nonjudgmental helper but yet I judge my belly, thighs and buttocks. I therefore judge other bodies too. I liked so many things about the first lessons…. a self-compassion study, all bodies are capable of health and wellness. Leave them in their greatness. Lots of thoughts last night and still here this morning. Thanks love my expansion?
