About Accessible Yoga

Accessible Yoga was founded by Jivana Heyman in 2007. In 2015 we split the organization into two, creating the Accessible Yoga Association, and the Accessible Yoga School - co-created by Amber Karnes. In early 2024 we merged the two organizations back together, returning to our original name: Accessible Yoga, which is how you find us today.

As an organization we have evolved and changed with the times over the years, however our mission remains the same:
  • To make yoga accessible and equitable by opening the conversation 
  • To share tools and training for yoga teachers, yoga therapists and yoga students who are looking to find accessible practices and teachings
  • To provide quality education around equity issues in yoga, including practical tools from trustworthy sources to inform your teaching practice
  • To offer this education in a variety of formats, currently offering live online courses, on-demand courses, and in-person courses with self-paced online modules. 

Accessible Yoga brings you in-depth courses, workshop series, a mentorship program, and more, led by yoga educators from communities who embody and share the values of interconnectedness and liberation that are the heart of yoga’s teachings.

What Our Students Are Saying

Wonderful and rich experience

“I'd recommend the Accessible Yoga Training to a friend because it is a wonderful and rich experience, thanks to the organizers and the speakers. Each day, the Training helps us to connect to the true essence of Yoga and of our being. I've found so many tools to teach Yoga to so different populations. This Training is so important to help everybody to have access to Yoga.”

-Gabrielle Auffret, Accessible Yoga Training Online Participant

Gave me relief and more ease

“My biggest takeaway / a-ha! moment in the Accessible Yoga Training was the moment I realized that we all are temporarily abled bodied. After watching one of the first video's here on the website I realized that this gave me relief and more ease. And it was so good to be around people with the same intentions. This has an enormous effect on how we learn and can stay open to what is presented.”

-Astrid, Accessible Yoga Training Online Participant
