Learn to Teach
Adaptable and Accessible Yoga

Take the 6-week online yoga teacher training focused on teaching yoga, Pilates and Strength Training 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.”

Meet Dianne

I am a  yoga teacher in a larger body. I know what it’s like to be the largest student in a class! I’ve been singled out, shamed for my size, and made to feel less-than. I never want that to happen to your students.

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

Meet Dianne and Amber

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. ~Ashley Looker
