In the second part of this powerful conversation, Jivana and Hannah explore practical steps for making yoga inclusive and accessible. Key topics include:

  • How to teach accessible yoga and why these principles are crucial in every yoga class.
  • How to create a trauma-sensitive space where all students feel empowered to make their own choices.
  • Controversial thought: Is simplifying yoga an oversimplification, or is it the ultimate form of wisdom?
  • Jivana’s surprising stance on using props, modifying postures, and the value of ‘meeting students where they are’—a view that challenges traditional teaching norms.

Whether you're a seasoned instructor or new to teaching, this episode offers essential insights on bringing the heart of yoga into every class, regardless of students' abilities or backgrounds.
