What Makes a Yoga Class Inclusive? (Tips for Yoga Teachers)

What does it really mean to teach inclusive yoga?

In this candid, practical conversation, Brea Johnson and Ula from Heart + Bones Yoga unpack what inclusivity in yoga truly looks like, beyond the buzzwords. We explore how to teach accessible yoga classes that support a diverse range of bodies, abilities, and lived experiences… without sacrificing depth, integrity, or your own voice as a teacher.

Whether you're a new yoga teacher or years into your journey, this episode will help you rethink what makes a class feel welcoming, and give you tangible ways to start shifting your language, cues, and approach.

We talk props, agency, accessibility, community, language, chair yoga, and why normalizing inclusive cues benefits every body.
