This captivating book delves into the often overlooked realm of yoga and hypermobility, shedding light on the underrepresented and often neglected population of individuals with exceptional flexibility. While hypermobile individuals are commonly found in yoga classes, they often go unnoticed and receive limited guidance on how to practice in ways that accommodate their unique physical characteristics. Many yoga teachers themselves lack proper training in working with this vulnerable population, leaving them inadequately equipped to serve the needs of hypermobile students.

In this comprehensive exploration, the book delves into the definition of hypermobility and provides teachers with comprehensive guidelines and practical techniques to safely and effectively include hypermobile students in their classes. It offers valuable insights into the challenges faced by hypermobile students and provides practical solutions to enhance their yoga experience.

Furthermore, the book addresses various co-existing conditions that often intersect with hypermobility, such as chronic pain, anxiety, and depression. It explores the intersection of hypermobility with neurodiversity, providing valuable information and resources for students with both hypermobility and neurodiverse backgrounds.

Hypermobility on the Yoga Mat serves as a valuable resource for both hypermobile yoga practitioners and yoga teachers who encounter hypermobile students. It offers a wealth of information, practical tips, and insightful perspectives to help practitioners navigate the nuances of practicing yoga with this unique population. By embracing the knowledge and insights provided in this book, practitioners can cultivate a more inclusive and supportive yoga community that celebrates the diversity of physical abilities and promotes the holistic well-being of all individuals.
