About Accessible Yoga

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.



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.

What Our Students Are Saying

This work is so important

"I recommend any and all Accessible Yoga training for every teacher! Most 200 and even 300 hour trainings still just don't provide enough training in making the practice accessible for ALL. These trainings and this organization are SO important to make sure we're keeping our students safe and they feel like this practice is for them, despite aging, limits, or other reasons why folks think yoga isn't for them. Yoga truly is for ALL and this work is so important for us as teachers. Thank you for all you do!"

-Jennifer McQuay, graduate of Accessible Yoga for Older Adults (2024)

The core of yoga is accessibility

"The Accessible Yoga Training helped me discover that accessibility encompasses so many different dimensions -- physical, cognitive, emotional, financial, political -- and yet at the same time, the core of yoga is indeed accessibility."

-Daniel Choi, Accessible Yoga Training Online participant

It's truly for everyone

"The Accessible Yoga Training helped me discover my love of diving into and exploring yoga philosophy (and how it can be truly accessible)! It's felt a bit elusive to me, or like it was for more 'advanced, wiser' teachers, and I don't feel like that anymore. It's truly for everyone, teacher or student!"

-Sarah, Accessible Yoga Training Online participant
