Hypermobility on the Yoga Mat

Hypermobility on the Yoga Mat

This book offers information and guidance to yoga teachers encountering hypermobile yoga students, and to hypermobile yoga practitioners themselves. It includes an overview of hypermobility (referencing research), as well as case studies, information on co-occurring conditions, a chapter on hypermobile child development, and more.



This book is an exploration of the neglected area of yoga and hypermobility. Hypermobile people are generally over-represented in yoga classes, yet often go unrecognised and receive little guidance about how to practise in hypermobility-friendly ways. Many yoga teachers have received little or no training about how to work with this vulnerable population.

The book considers what hypermobility is and offers teachers general guidelines as well as specific practical techniques for including hypermobile students safely and effectively in classes. For hypermobile students themselves there are lots of suggestions for making a yoga practice helpful and beneficial.

Also including information about co-existing conditions, the intersection of hypermobility with neurodiversity, and much more, Hypermobility on the Yoga Mat is the go-to resource for both hypermobile yoga practitioners and yoga teachers encountering hypermobile students.
