Inclusivity in Yoga Spaces
10 hours CPD
Sunday 27th October 2024
This CPD day focuses on the importance of inclusivity in yoga, offering actionable strategies to ensure your yoga space is welcoming to students of all backgrounds, body types, and abilities. Whether you’re new to inclusive teaching or looking to expand your understanding, this course will enhance your skills as a yoga teacher while deepening your connection with students.
What you’ll learn
This CPD day will equip you with the tools to create truly inclusive yoga spaces by addressing key areas of accessibility and diversity. You will explore the ethical responsibility of inclusivity in yoga, learning how to identify and overcome barriers that prevent participation. Topics will include trauma-informed teaching for a supportive environment, adapting asanas for diverse bodies, and using neutral, culturally sensitive language. You will also gain practical tips for making your yoga studio more accessible, promoting gender inclusivity, and respecting yoga’s cultural roots while welcoming students from all backgrounds and abilities.
Meet Jo
Jo is a mother of four with Mauritian heritage and doesn’t fit the mould of a typical Instagram-friendly yogi, and she’s perfectly fine with that. In her space, egos are left at the door. A 500-hour Yoga Master with Yoga Alliance International—a world-renowned non-profit organisation founded in India that honours yoga’s roots—she is also trained in Yin Yoga, Yoga Nidra relaxation, and Pre and Postnatal Yoga.
Her classes are designed to nourish both body and mind, offering an inclusive environment where participants can rediscover their spirit, enabling them to truly thrive when they step away from the studio.
