How to Make Yin Yoga Accessible

S 6 | Ep.10 -

In this episode, I dive into the question: Is Yin Yoga truly accessible? I share my honest thoughts on the challenges teachers face when trying to make Yin Yoga inclusive for everyone, regardless of body type, injuries, or experience.

I talk about why accessibility matters to me, how I use props and creative solutions in my classes, and why language and mindset are so important for making students feel welcome.

I also share some personal stories and resources for teachers who want to keep learning. Whether you’re a teacher or a student, I hope you’ll find practical tips and inspiration to make your Yin Yoga practice and classes accessible.
