Amazing course. Amazing teachers. The content is invaluable; the course is one that every yoga teacher should be required to take. I've always been a compassionate, accepting individual with a thirst for knowledge, but this course opened my world and my eyes in ways I never could have imagined. Truly an amazing course! Thank you, Jivana, and thanks to all the other guest speakers for sharing your knowledge, wisdom, devotion and love of the practice of yoga and making it truly accessible to all.

Jivana has specialized in teaching yoga to people with disabilities with an emphasis on community building and social engagement. Out of this work, the nonprofit Accessible Yoga Association was created to support education, training, and advocacy with the mission of shifting the public perception of yoga.

Jivana coined the phrase, “Accessible Yoga,” over fifteen years ago, and it has now become the standard appellation for a large cross section of the immense yoga world. He brought the Accessible Yoga community together for the first time in 2015 for the Accessible Yoga Conference.

Jivana is also the creator of the Accessible Yoga Training and the co-founder of the online Accessible Yoga School with Amber Karnes, which is a platform for continued education for yoga teachers in the field of equity and accessibility. 

Over the past 29 years, Jivana has led countless yoga teacher training programs around the world, and dedicates his time to supporting yoga teachers who are working to serve communities that are under-represented in traditional yoga spaces. www.jivanaheyman.com
