Jivana Heyman

There are not enough superlatives to do justice to the beauty and importance of Accessible Yoga. It does what it says and shows through illustrations how to do different poses on a mat, in a chair, with supports, such as bolsters, and gives permission for everybody to what's right for them. He calls out yoga culture that is competitive and closed and elite making it difficult to share in the human experience of doing yoga and meditation. But the beauty of the book lay in its philosophy about human rights and accessibility for all, disabled or not. Mr. Heyman reminds us that without equality and social justice for all groups, especially one's that are marginalized we cannot even begin to do justice to supporting everybody in their practice; the way we all deserve to be supported. Breaking down barriers to include everybody is at the heart of this stunning book.
