Erkkajooga : Safe and health-promoting yoga

Tuotetiedot

This book is intended for anyone interested in accessibility, inclusion and adapted yoga. There is a wealth of research on the many benefits of yoga, yet the opportunity to practice it is not equally available to everyone. A person who needs additional or specialized support in their yoga practice may, for various reasons, be excluded from guided yoga classes. Erkkajooga aims to make yoga accessible to anyone who wishes to practice it, regardless of their abilities. This book provides comprehensive guidance for practicing yoga in an accessible, safe, and health-promoting way. It has been written as clearly and simply as possible to further support accessibility. We hope yoga teachers will find inspiration in this book to meet every yoga practitioner as an equal and to feel empowered to explore together with the yogi the most suitable way for them to experience yoga. Our goal is to offer insight and encouragement on how yoga can be adapted to meet the needs of a wide range of individuals. Most of all, we hope this book will reach people with intellectual disabilities. We want them to find joy in the beautiful images, feel a sense of inclusion when they see them, and most importantly, feel inspired to try yoga with confidence and curiosity. Equality is created together. Alkuteos Erkkajooga : turvallista ja terveyttä edistävää joogaa.
