On-demand training
Yoga for hybermobility and associated conditions

A yoga class with women practicing bow pose on mats, an instructor assisting a student, in a bright room with large windows and wooden floors.

For hypermobile people to support their own Yoga/ movement practice. And for Yoga teachers, pilates instructors, fitness coaches, and movement therapists to learn how to support their hypermobile students.

It’s a self-paced online training with around 2 hours of pre-recorded theory videos, a library of at-home yoga practices, and an optional live Zoom session in June. It explores hypermobility syndromes and common co-occurring conditions, and teaches you how to adapt yoga and relaxation practices to create a supportive, accessible approach for hypermobile bodies.

“Hypermobility and EDS are so poorly understood, and this training raised awareness and looked to improve accessibility in classes. Jasmine is really knowledgeable and this is such important work that I'd love more people to learn from.” - Yoga student

Participant feedback

What is hypermobility?

A woman is sitting cross-legged on the floor, engaging in a meditation or yoga practice, with a water bottle and yoga blocks nearby. She is wearing a pink cardigan and floral pants, with her eyes closed and one hand resting on her knee.

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, the practice can lead to injury or flare-ups.

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

As someone with Hypermobile Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, this training combines my personal lived experience with my professional expertise in teaching yoga specifically for hypermobility.
