rivals. The China-India Yoga College, opened last year in Kunming, has drawn thousands of
followers to its free classes. China’s irst yoga college is based in Kunming’s Yunnan Minzu
(Nationalities) University. College deputy director Lu Fang said more than 70 teachers had
been trained up and nearly 3,000 people had participated in free classes. He said more
Chinese people wanted to learn from Indian yoga masters. “They not only learn yoga
positions, but also sutras, philosophy, culture and dining habits from the Indian tutors.”The Indian government has received over 600 proposals from scientists and academics
to conduct research under its Science and Technology of Yoga and Meditation (SATYAM)
programme. The scheme is aimed at encouraging scientiic research on the efects
of yoga and meditation on physical and mental health and on cognitive functioning
in healthy people as well as in patients with disorders. The Ministry of Science and
Technology in New Delhi will now shortlist around 25 proposals. Organisations such
as the National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences have submitted bids,
according to secretary Ashutosh Sharma.

I was unable to do a sun salutation in the
‘standard’ way; she advised me I’d failed the
assessment, inishing with the comment:
‘You’re disabled, how could you ever be a
yoga teacher?’ I cried, and then I fought back.
I was assessed again by another teacher and
passed with lying colours. She gave me a
stubbornness to succeed!”
Despite this blatant discrimination, she
now inds joy in the work she does. “As a
disabled teacher, my world is generally
very diverse and full of the most humbling
and amazing people. I am able to share the
world with people that are often mentally or
physically described as severely disabled,
and yet these people have the most amazing
hearts and souls that they use to learn and
beneit from the amazing oferings that yoga
has to give. I ind my students to be friends
and we share an unspoken respect and
understanding for each other.”
It’s easy to forget that Instagram isn’t
yoga, and the lack of diversity we see there
is not represented in classes. But if you
are looking to social media for inspiration,
in the face of a sea of people all looking
the same, a quick sidestep might just give
you what you’re looking for. Hashtags like
#amputeeyoga, #wheelchairyoga and
#adaptiveyoga are rapidly being illed with
photos of people embracing their time on
the mat, and studios ofering classes that
speciically cater to those who may have
diferent needs.
Organisations such as the Accessible
Yoga Foundation are doing important work
with students who are living with disabilities,
to ensure that yoga is available to all. Carly
Berry is a yoga student who fractured a“As a disabled teacher,
my world is generally
very diverse and full of
the most humbling and
amazing people.”vertebrae when she was a teenager, and has
since lived with sciatica and persistent back
problems that limit her ability to walk at times.
She came to yoga through YouTube videos,
and has since found her way to local classes.
“I went to one at a local hall and did really
enjoy it. The instructor was knowledgeable
about my condition and really lovely, but it
just didn’t it in with my daily routine at the
time,” she says. “I would be put of joining
a class at a gym though. The class size is
always huge and I feel I need more attention
than can be given to me.”
And this is where the Accessible Yoga
Foundation come in, says Nichola Selby-
Allen. “Very early on, Caelia and I realised
that, in a room full of those that were
learning yoga to teach from a itness
perspective, we were diferent - and very
like-minded,” she says. “Caelia has a
beautiful son with disabilities, and as such
understood my world all too well. We were
both there to help others and take yoga to
those that need it most. Those with mental
and physical disabilities, and with chronic
illness, as well as adults and children with
special needs. We felt that this part of our
community was poorly represented within
the yoga world. Accessible Yoga Foundation
was born very quickly from there, hosting
workshops and courses for others to learn
the skills to be able to host inclusive yoga
classes, as well as teaching ourselves. It has
been an amazing journey and one we hope
to continue for many years to come.”Find out more about the Accessible Yoga
