This training is practical, experiential, and grounded in lived experience.

It’s for yoga teachers who want to feel confident adapting poses, using inclusive, encouraging language, and creating a genuine sense of belonging in their classes — especially for students who may have felt unsure or out of place in traditional yoga settings.

You’ll learn how to adapt core poses, sequence with flexibility, and teach with clarity and ease in real-world classes.

The Adaptive Yogi Teacher Training is led by Jennie Rose — a yogi for over 30 years and a teacher for 10, teaching from lived experience of disability and life in a larger body.

Expect a real, human weekend filled with practical tools, honest conversations, supportive learning, and a good dose of laughter.

Who this training is for…

This training is for yoga teachers who want to feel more confident and at ease teaching a wider range of bodies, needs, and life stages.
