In this four hour workshop, we will focus on creating integrated accessible yoga classes where all students can practice together, on the mat or chair.
This class is designed for yoga students and teachers wanting to create an adaptive yoga practice to suit all abilities, experience levels, backgrounds, sizes, and ages. We will discuss and practice making yoga welcoming to everyone so that we can serve the needs of all of our students.
