This workshop is for anyone who wants to learn more about adapting Yoga with hypermobility. It will help yoga teachers accommodate students with symptomatic hypermobility and associated conditions like POTS, ME/CFS, and anxiety. It will also help Yoga students with hypermobility who want to adapt their own practice.
Did you know that about 20% of people are hypermobile? This means you’re likely to encounter them in your yoga classes! Yet, there is a huge lack of education in the industry on accessible yoga for hypermobile students. I’m here to change that.
This workshop will teach you:
-
What hypermobility is and it’s common associated co-occuring conditions.
-
Movement, breath, and relaxation principles to integrate into your classes/ practice. These principles not only accommodate hypermobile folk, and folks with chronic illness but can also benefit everyone in class!
-
How to avoid common ways of practicing that can irritate the hypermobile body.
-
How to accommodate hypermobile folk in your Yoga classes (either for yourself if you’re hypermobile, or for students if your a teacher)
-
A clearer understanding of how hypermobility can impact a person and the ways Yoga can support.
Hypermobility and associated chronic health conditions are commonly seen in Yoga land where many hypermobile people flock to, and bendy-ness is often glorified but misunderstood. I want to raise awareness in this industry to help Yoga teachers and students expand their knowledge, prioritise access needs, and avoid injury.
What is hypermobility?
Hypermobility refers to the ability of joints to move beyond a normal, or expected, range of motion. Some people may naturally have hypermobile joints without any issues at all! But for others, hypermobility can be associated with Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes (EDS) or Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder (HSD). Both EDS and HSD can come with a complex mix of co-occurring conditions, and a concoction of bothersome symptoms such as chronic pain, fatigue, joint instability, GI issues, and autonomic dysfunction. Learn more about hypermobility here.
As someone with Hypermobile EDS, I bring both personal and professional experience to this workshop.
If financial barriers are preventing you from attending, please reach out – I’d love to find a way for you to join us!

“I really appreciated all the work and effort that went into providing the workshop. It was perfect, really informative! Highly tailored information to address the physical needs of people who are hypermobile, which is often overlooked. I learned the importance of not pushing oneself.”
“100% likely to recommend workshop to a friend because Hypermobility and EDS are so poorly understood, and this workshop raised awareness and looked to improve accessibility of classes. Jasmine is really knowledgeable and this is such important work that I’d love more people to learn from.”
