Participant feedback

What is hypermobility?

Hypermobility refers to joints moving beyond their typical range of motion. While some people have naturally hypermobile joints without issues, for others, it’s associated with conditions like Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes (EDS) or Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder (HSD). These conditions can often come with a range of co-occurring challenges, including chronic pain, fatigue, joint instability, gastrointestinal issues, and autonomic dysfunction.

Hypermobility awareness in yoga

Symptomatic hypermobility and related chronic health conditions are prevalent in the yoga community, where flexibility is often glorified but misunderstood. Many hypermobile people are drawn to yoga, but without proper education and awareness, it can lead to injury or flare-ups.

This training aims to raise awareness in the yoga industry, equipping teachers and students with the tools to deepen their knowledge, prioritise access needs, and adapt practices to support hypermobile folk.

What will this training teach me?

  • What hypermobility is, an introduction to hEDS & HSD, and their common associated co-occuring conditions.

  • Movement, breath, and relaxation principles to integrate into your classes/ practice. These principles not only accommodate hypermobile folk, and folks with chronic illness but can also benefit everyone in class!

  • How to avoid common ways of practicing Yoga that can irritate the hypermobile body so you can confidently adapt.

  • How to accommodate hypermobile folk in your Yoga classes (either for yourself if you're hypermobile, or for students if you’re a teacher)

  • A clearer understanding of how hypermobility can impact a person and the ways Yoga can support.
