YOGA IS FOR EVERYONE
Our teaching needs to help make that true.
Many of us entered this work because we believe in the transformative possibilities of Yoga.
And yet, many disabled people and people with limited mobility still encounter Yoga spaces that were simply not designed with them in mind.
Sometimes the barrier is physical.
Sometimes it is the language we use, the assumptions we make, the way we teach a pose, or simply not knowing what to do when a student arrives whose body moves differently from our own.
This training is an invitation to change that.
Over ten live hours together, you will develop practical tools, knowledge and confidence to facilitate Yoga for people with physical disabilities and limited mobility — while creating spaces rooted in choice, autonomy, dignity and belonging.
This isn’t about making every body perform the same shape.
It’s about learning how to help the practice meet the person in front of you.
What We Will Explore
During our weekend together, we will explore:
-
Yoga, disability and accessibility
-
Ableism and inclusive language
-
Understanding common physical and neurological disabilities
-
Principles of Accessible and Adaptive Yoga
-
Working with wheelchairs, chairs, props and other forms of support
-
Adapting asana for different bodies and abilities
-
Sequencing an Adaptive Yoga practice
-
Pranayama and breath practices
-
Safety considerations when working with different physical disabilities
-
Consent, autonomy and student-led practice
-
Creating accessible and welcoming Yoga spaces
-
Teaching in community and healthcare settings
-
Practical teaching and communication tools
And much more
But this training is about more than collecting variations of Yoga poses.
Accessibility asks us to become better listeners, more creative teachers and more thoughtful human beings.

10 hours of live training with Rodrigo Souza

Who Is This Training For?
This training is designed primarily for Yoga teachers and teachers in training who want to make their teaching more accessible.
We also warmly welcome:
caregivers • healthcare professionals • occupational therapists• physiotherapists • community workers • movement professionals • and anyone interested in exploring a more accessible and human-centred approach to Yoga.
You do not need previous experience teaching Adaptive Yoga.
You need curiosity, openness and a willingness to learn.
What Will You Leave With?
By the end of our weekend together, my hope is not that you leave knowing how to teach every disability.
No 10-hour training could teach you that.
Instead, you will leave with a stronger foundation for meeting students with curiosity rather than fear.
You will understand how to explore adaptations, communicate with greater awareness, offer meaningful choices, and begin creating practices in which more people can participate with dignity and autonomy.
You will also have practical tools that can support your teaching in Yoga studios, community organisations, rehabilitation settings, care homes, schools, non-profits, hospitals and beyond.
Your student is not the problem to solve.
The question becomes:
How can I help Yoga meet this student?
TESTIMONIALS
The most significant benefit I received from attending Rodrigo's Training was learning to dissect the poses, re-creating the posture sensation, and translating that into inner body awareness.
I learned to feel the sensation of the posture in my body first and then recreate that connection for an adapted audience—an invaluable learning experience.

I recommend the Allihopa Yoga Training to all yoga teachers out there!
Rodrigo's experience, knowledge, and fantastic way of sharing inspire and remind me of what yoga is about.
Rodrigo's experience as a yoga teacher is a gift to us all. By sharing his view on yoga, he gives you new glasses to see through, which will change how you teach yoga.
The training gave me knowledge and tools to teach wheelchair-friendly yoga and made me expand as a yoga teacher.

Rodrigo's Training was an insightful and approachable way to understand better what a genuinely adaptive and accessible yoga experience is like.
My eyes and heart have been opened to exactly what yoga can look like for anyone willing to foster a deeper mind-body connection!
Yes yes yes!

ABOUT YOUR TRAINER:
Rodrigo Souza
Rodrigo Souza (he/him) is an internationally recognised Accessible and Adaptive Yoga teacher, educator, and disability advocate dedicated to creating a more inclusive and human approach to yoga.
A wheelchair user following a spinal cord injury, Rodrigo’s relationship with yoga became a journey of returning home to his body — an experience that continues to shape the way he teaches, mentors, and advocates for greater accessibility in yoga spaces.
Through Allihopa Yoga and his Brazilian initiative Lhe Tenho Amor, Rodrigo teaches students with diverse bodies and lived experiences and trains yoga teachers and healthcare professionals to facilitate practices rooted in dignity, autonomy, belonging, and care. He also serves as a mentor and training facilitator with the Accessible Yoga School.
In 2026, Rodrigo was recognised by Yoga Journal USA as one of eight yoga teachers shaping the future of yoga.
At the heart of his work is a simple belief: yoga does not belong to one kind of body. It is a practice of belonging — and every body deserves to feel that they are welcome.
Financial Accessibility
We believe accessibility should include financial accessibility too.
A limited number of partial scholarships are available for people who genuinely need financial support to participate.
If cost is a barrier, please reach out to us at info@allihopayoga.com.
We cannot promise that every request can be accommodated, but we will do our best to make the training accessible whenever we can.
Be Part of the Change
You already believe Yoga is for everybody.
This training is about helping your teaching reflect that belief.
Come learn.
Come practice.
Come ask questions.
Come meet other teachers doing this work.
And leave with more tools to help create Yoga spaces where more people can arrive — and know that they belong.
