Yoga is a practice for everyone, but unfortunately not everyone feels welcome or able to participate in yoga classes. Creating classes that feel comfortable and supportive for everyone to join takes effort and understanding, and it also comes through practice and experience.

People can struggle to participate in a yoga class for physical reasons such as health conditions, injuries and age. But they may also be influenced by psychological challenges, social, economic, environmental to name a few. These are often less obvious and perhaps less recognised by yoga teachers as potential barriers to students even joining a class.

Through careful exploration of your potential students and their needs, this course will help you to gain insight and understanding, so that you can teach more inclusively and accessibly.
