Teaching Body Positive Yoga

A Guide to Inclusivity, Language and Props

Donna Noble

Foreword by Jivana Heyman

Drawing on the philosophy and history of the body positivity movement, Donna Noble presents a radical re-examination of teaching inclusive yoga classes by breaking down stereotypes and demystifying yoga.

By sharing accessible tools for everything from marketing a body-positive class to setting the scene in the space, using appropriate language and considering consent and touch, Noble demonstrates why every body is a yoga body - no matter what shape or size. With guidance on modifying poses for larger bodies, as well as chair-based sequences, this resource helps yoga teachers to ensure that the benefits of yoga are available to everyone.

With practical tips, as well as information on social justice and body-positive yoga off the mat, Teaching Body Positive Yoga is a well-rounded resource that gives yoga teachers the confidence to host inclusive and welcoming classes for all.

Yoga and Somatics for Immune and Respiratory Health

Charlotte Watts

Foreword by Joanne Avison

Our respiratory and immune systems are intrinsically linked to how we relate to the world around us. Engaging with our vitality through the movement we were designed to express equips us with an invaluable ability to support the optimal functioning of our internal systems.

This book explains how movement, embodied awareness, and self-compassion can be incorporated into yoga practice to support respiratory and immune health. It delves into how stress, trauma, breath, movement, and posture can impact the quality of these systems and how yoga teachers can integrate a range of practises focussing on movement, meditation, and breath to help improve them.

Through an exploration of our boundaries, our breath, and our bodies, this book will help yoga teachers develop a more integrated and nuanced approach to their teaching

Yoga of Recovery

Integrating Yoga and Ayurveda with Modern Recovery Tools for Addiction

Durga Leela

Foreword by David Frawley

By offering an empowering personal program of self-care in recovery, this book provides guidance for everyone affected by widespread modern ‘addictiveness’.

The book explores Ayurveda’s understanding of both the problem of our ‘one addiction process’ and its solution. It offers holistic techniques that enhance any of the traditional recovery pathways and beyond any of the common diet/exercise dogma from mainstream media. It covers the stress/addictive tendencies of the doshic types, and links this to how stress affects metabolism, the main determinant of health. The program offered in the book is an integration of the philosophy, psychology and physical practices of Yoga and Ayurveda to help people shift their life trajectory.

With Yoga of Recovery, author Durga Leela presents a complete resource for working with individuals recovering from addiction.
