How do you feel about teaching yoga to someone in a wheelchair? What will you say when a potential student calls
and says, “I have ALS / Multiple Sclerosis / Cerebral Palsy / (fill in the blank), can I come to your yoga class”? This
workshop will not only help you answer that question, it will also offer you a different way of approaching your own
practice and teaching.
In this workshop, we will explore the dynamics of working with people with disabilities on an emotional as well as
physical level, discussing a variety of disabilities and how they might affect a student's yoga. This will include
people who are in wheelchairs as well as those whose disability is not so obvious. We will work together to discover
and create a yoga practice for students with varying abilities.
JoAnn Lyons has been teaching yoga to people with disabilities in the Bay Area for over ten years,
because she believes that yoga should be available to everyone. She began offering workshops and
apprenticeships so she would have assistance in these classes. She has developed a unique way of
presenting her work to teachers that both inspires them and gives them confidence.

Cancellations before March 15 will be refunded less a $15 administration fee. No refunds for cancellations
on/after March 16.
