What's Included in this Course: Modifying Yoga for every BODY

Enrol in this comprehensive course to gain the skills and knowledge needed to design classes that cater to individuals with varied abilities, injuries and conditions. Deepen your understanding of pose modifications and enhance your ability to create inclusive and supportive Yoga and Pilates sessions.

Most Yoga classes simply aren't accessible to students with common injuries, conditions, disabilities and chronic illnesses.  Many have left a class, or Yoga entirely, feeling inadequate or disillusioned by the premise of wellness benefits, or worse injured. Most teacher trainings do not include how to use props, apply modifications and alternatives in classes so they are suitable to every BODY who comes through the door.  

There’s a high demand for teachers who can provide an all-inclusive general class, or a specialised program as a group class or private session for individuals with varied abilities, injuries and conditions.  Our 350hr Yogalates Teacher Training has been training teachers since 1999 to do this. For the first time we are providing this as a separate stand-alone module for qualified Yoga, Yogalates or Pilates teachers to up-skill their training.  For this reason we do not include HOW to instruct the pose (this is part of the Teacher Training), instead we cover the pose benefits, cautions, possible adaptations and why.  

This course is suitable for qualified Yoga or Pilates teachers and Physiotherapists and is delivered as Part 1 & Part 2 - see special offer below for both.
