Drawing on the philosophy and history of the body positivity
movement, Donna Noble presents a radical re-examination of teaching
inclusive yoga classes by breaking down stereotypes and
demystifying yoga. By sharing accessible tools for everything from
marketing a body-positive class to setting the scene in the space,
using appropriate language and considering consent and touch, Noble
demonstrates why every body is a yoga body - no matter what shape
or size. With guidance on modifying poses for larger bodies, as
well as chair-based sequences, this resource helps yoga teachers to
ensure that the benefits of yoga are available to everyone. With
practical tips, as well as information on social justice and
body-positive yoga off the mat, Teaching Body Positive Yoga is a
well-rounded resource that gives yoga teachers the confidence to
host inclusive and welcoming classes for all.
This daring, visionary book revolutionizes yoga practice--and makes it truly accessible to everyone, in every body, at any age, and in any state of health.
Yoga practice has so much to offer us physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. But many of us feel discouraged to practice because we see young, slim, flexible, well, and able-bodied people dominating yoga spaces. Yet, yoga is truly a practice for all--conferring enormous benefits to our overall well-being as our bodies change, age, and navigate various health challenges. Jivana Heyman, founder of Accessible Yoga, views yoga as a basic human right--saying we all deserve to practice it in whatever state we find our body or mind. Accessible Yoga offers a simple, clear, and wonderfully adaptable practice for all people regardless of ability, health, and body type. Heyman has spent over twenty years sharing yoga with people of all abilities and backgrounds, and in this book, he shares his knowledge by breaking down complex yoga poses, breathing practices, meditation techniques, and yoga teachings into clearly understandable and practical tools we can use every day, regardless of our limitations or challenges.
