Adapting Yoga for Disability Trainings

Adapting Yoga for Disability Level I • April 12-14, 2013 or September 27-29, 2013 •

Adapting yoga is more than an exploration of learning to modify the asana. It is a journey in self-discovery, subtlety, practicality, and the underlying nature of ability and disability. Participants will find benefit both for their own yoga practice and in how to share yoga with others. This workshop is for yoga teachers.

13 hours of the workshop are eligible for Yoga Alliance continuing education hours.
