New reference e-book: Choose the pose options that work best for your practice and your teaching

Imagine that you are planning tomorrow’s class and you want to work with the upper back, specifically the area between the shoulder blades. Which movements would be good for that? And which poses can you add them to? Or a student mentions her painful shoulder, and the version of the pose you had in mind is suddenly off the table. Whether we are planning the practice ahead of time, or modifying it on the fly, it helps to know what options we have for each yoga pose.

That’s what the Yoga Pose Adaptations e-book is for. This 175-page reference guide covers the theory of pose adaptation and gives an extensive overview of 35 common yoga poses.

Part 1 lays out the theory behind adaptations: what yoga poses are actually for, which alignment points are important, why we repeat a pose before we hold it, how fascia responds to the way we habitually move, and the six main ways we can adapt any yoga pose.

Part 2 is the working reference. It features 35 pose chapters, and each chapter includes the key alignment points of the pose, why we do it, how to do it, how to bring it to life with the breath, and a full collection of pose adaptations. Every adaptation is represented by an image, a name, and a short description of what it is and what it is used for.

A link and a QR code at the top of the list lead to a webpage with videos of those adaptations.

This book is part of our new webinar series, Yoga Pose Adaptations: Unlock the Hidden Potential of Familiar Poses. The series also includes two webinars that show you how to adapt yoga poses for different bodies, situations, and goals, and cover the three main strategies for choosing pose adaptations.

• Have been practicing or teaching the same poses the same way for years and want to see what else is in them
• Are looking to deepen your understanding of how subtle variations change the effect of a pose
• Want to make your yoga practices more inclusive and accessible to students of all ages, abilities, and body types
• Wish to target specific body areas more precisely in your sequencing
• Want to build more creative, theme-based practices using pose adaptations
• Are ready to move beyond preset pose shapes and start using poses as versatile tools.
