The first episode of season 2 is live!
In the first episode of season two, I talk with Jivana Heyman, author of Accessible Yoga and Yoga Revolution. Jivana started his yoga teaching career supporting communities with disabilities, HIV/AIDS, MS, and heart disease patients. He coined the phrase "Accessible Yoga" after creating the Accessible Yoga Training in 2013 and, as co-founder of the Accessible Yoga School, wants yoga teachers at a basic level of training to be able to teach a spectrum of abilities in the same class at the same time.
This is just one of the solutions he sees for changing the public perception of what a yoga teacher is. We talk about what, at heart, anyone is really practicing yoga for, and how Jivana wants to support those underserved and under-represented in modern yoga, which faces a fundamental problem in its lack of community.
