Course program

The Adaptive Yoga Certification by My Vinyasa Practice is a Yoga Alliance accredited continuing education program rooted in accessibility and inclusion. Led by C-IAYT Yoga Therapist Michelle Young, the training equips teachers to share yoga with every body and every ability through a trauma-informed curriculum.

This certification is designed for yoga teachers and movement professionals who want to expand their ability to serve students with physical limitations, chronic conditions, or disabilities. The CE credits are most useful for those with an existing yoga credential, though the page does not state a strict prerequisite. The training also suits anyone passionate about making yoga accessible to underserved populations.

The curriculum covers six core areas: inclusivity in yoga, adapting poses and sequences, communication and empathy, addressing special populations, creating inclusive class environments, and integrating props and assists. Students learn how to modify sequencing for individual needs, use props effectively to support different bodies, and design inclusive sequences for students of all abilities.

The training emphasizes practical skills for supporting students with physical limitations, chronic conditions, or disabilities while fostering empowerment and independence in their practice. Through mindful modifications, prop usage, and personalized sequencing, you learn to guide others toward greater mobility, balance, and a sustainable practice. The curriculum is trauma-informed and grounded in the lineage of traditional yogic principles taught by My Vinyasa Practice.

The program is guided by Michelle Young, a certified Yoga Therapist (C-IAYT) specializing in cardiac, cancer, eating recovery, and behavioral health. Michelle is supported by Tara Cleven, who holds E-RYT 500 and C-IAYT credentials. Together they bring extensive experience in trauma-informed and therapeutic yoga applications.

The format is self-paced and fully online with lifetime access and ongoing support. Students work through pre-recorded video lectures and ebooks at their own pace, with a minimum completion time of two weeks. The program includes 1:1 mentorship and live support during business hours, with various weekly live calls available. All manuals and digital course materials are included.

This Viniyoga training exceeded every expectation I had. I loved how each lesson emphasized personalization and adapting yoga to the individual. I now feel confident offering sequences that truly meet my students where they are.

This program helped me reconnect with the heart of yoga. The integration of philosophy, functional movement, and breathwork created a learning experience that felt both personal and transformative. I've grown not only as a teacher but also as a practitioner.
