Welcome back to The Yoga Connection Podcast with Jamie and Bobbi! In today’s episode, we’re joined by the incredible Jivana Heyman—founder of Accessible Yoga, longtime yoga teacher, author, and podcast host. We talk with Jivana about his newest book, The Teacher’s Guide to Accessible Yoga, and how it serves as a powerful resource for yoga teachers and therapists who want to meet students where they are—without fear of overstepping or doing harm.

We dive deep into the meaning of accessibility in the yoga world today, what it looks like in practice, and how teachers can use the term with intention and integrity. Whether you’re a brand-new teacher or a seasoned educator, Jivana’s insights are both grounding and inspiring. Plus, we all share our latest Wellness Wins—from Oura rings to yin yoga to lifting heavy and running free.
