Train people with disabilities to become Yoga Teachers.Integral Yoga Institute of San Francisco

"Accessible Yoga Teacher Training" is the only program in the US that meets national standards for training yoga teachers and is truly accessible to people who have physical disabilities.

Because of the way that yoga is taught in the West, teacher training is the most effective way to get a thorough education in yoga and deepen your practice. This program was created to expand access to these powerful and life-changing experience.

Traditional programs are not accessible to people with disabilities for a variety of reasons. People may not feel wecome within the yoga studio environment either because of physical barriers or a lack of basic awareness around disability issues.

Graduates are empowered by their new role as "yoga teacher." After having spent years in the role of "patient" it can be an inspiring change to become a care provider. In fact, graduates of the program say they overcame years of depression and isolation by participating in this program.
