Workshop 1 of the Adaptive Teaching Series - you can register for JUST this workshop.

This workshop is designed for yoga teachers and movement professionals (trainers, Pilates instructors, etc) who want to make their teaching more welcoming and supportive. We’ll explore what “adaptive” movement means: not just a specialty for a small population, but an approach that makes variability expected and choice normal.

We’ll cover mindset shifts like intention over aesthetic, function over form, and curiosity over correction. You’ll practice language that fosters agency and learn how to reduce over-correction without becoming cold. We’ll also look at how props can support autonomy, how to teach without rigid alignment rules, removing hierarchical language, and how to offer variations that keep students connected to the purpose of the movement. You’ll leave with a simple framework for building adaptive options into any style of class, so your teaching supports more bodies and lived experiences.
