Adaptive Yoga Moves Any Body

Teacher Training Overview

It is a goal of this Teacher Training program to help instructors gain confidence in their ability to meet the unique needs of their otherwise-abled students, while understanding how neuromuscular conditions impact students’ lives, mobility and sensations. It is not uncommon to be anxious about working with students with physical and cognitive challenges. This comprehensive program combines Yoga Moves MS principles as outlined in the book, Adaptive Yoga Moves Any Body (AYMAB), with an overview of neuromuscular conditions, pose adaptations, class design and dynamics, theme components, class administration and additional resources for you to pursue. Participants will become part of a growing and mutually supportive adaptive yoga community of instructors and students.
