Accessible Yoga: Poses and Practices for Every Body

We love this well written book that not only clearly explains the process of the pose- excellent whether you have mobility issues or not- but also features wonderful Photos.Clearly, the author understands how to accommodate mobility limitations and helps user to expand range of motion.Excellent value and long term benefits.

Accessible Yoga is the yoga book we need right now. In clear, concise language, and with many stunning photos, the book describes an inclusive practice that everyone can do on their path to healing regardless of age, privilege or physicality. Along with a community of teachers and activists, Jivanna shares powerful tools to find the essence of a yoga pose (props, chairs, the floor) plus how to meditate or practice self-care in a way that not only a beginning practitioner can grasp, but also an advanced yogi can find new insights. There is so much experience and knowledge here from so many years of practice and teaching students and teachers to teach students and teachers. Most importantly, Accessible Yoga reminds us that Yoga is for all bodies, not just white, thin, flexible, privileged women in bikinis on Instagram. This is the essence of yoga-- that ANYONE can practice it at any age or anywhere in any physical state. This is a truth that modern postural yoga has forgotten and that ACCESSIBLE YOGA reminds us. It should be a part of every yoga school curriculum. I learned so much and you will too!!!!

Whether you are a yoga student, yoga teacher or both, this book is an absolute must to add to the yoga section of your bookshelf. I appreciate this book from both perspectives. As a person who struggles with some physical challenges in my body, this book is a beautiful guide and invitation for me to look at practicing in the way that is best for my body. There are so many variations! As a yoga teacher of people experiencing challenges with their bodies, this book is an invaluable resource that supports both teacher and student as we collaborate to find what works best for their bodies. This should be required reading for all YTT200 trainings as well. It's beautifully photographed and shows the many possibilities yoga offers. If you can breathe, you can do yoga! This book shows you how!

So inspired. The yoga concepts are easy to follow, feel easy to adapt. Thrilled to see expansive representation of different bodies in prose and pictorially. I feel the themes of this approach and movement of yoga could have such a positive impact. Thank you Jivana and the multitude of experience represented by teachers and students in this book. Such a treasure.

This is a fantastic book. I attended Jivana’s training and I am also a member of the Accessible Yoga community. This book beautifully summarizes Jivana’s philosophy and describes how to make yoga truly accessible to all. I can not recommend this book more highly to anyone wishing to make yoga accessible. As a rehab professional, I especially recommend this book to my PT and OT colleagues who wish to integrate yogic principles into the therapeutic setting!

Clear and concise instructions, helpful for anyone beginning Yoga

I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in making yoga accessible. This book contains nothing but love, dedication and many, many accessible poses and practices for everyone! Jivana Heyman will make you laugh, maybe cry and open your heart, mind and spirit to the true meaning of yoga. Whether you are a yoga teacher, student, or Accessible Yoga curious this book is for you! Thank you Jivana for this wonderful resource!!

I sped through this book first reading! I love the personal stories . Content is written in down to earth every day language Will read again to take a closer look at the pose suggestions. Some of these poses I have used already with a private client. Just finishing up my yoga thesis and this wonderful book will be listed as one of my references!
