Listen Later

In this episode of the Yogalebrity podcast, host Angelica Govaert speaks with Rodrigo Sousa, an adaptive yoga teacher who shares his transformative journey from a spinal cord injury to becoming a yoga instructor.

Rodrigo discusses the healing power of adaptive yoga, its role in rehabilitation, and the importance of making yoga accessible to individuals with disabilities.

He emphasizes the need for a holistic approach to health, moving beyond the traditional medical model, and highlights his training programs aimed at educating yoga teachers on how to work with disabled individuals.

The conversation also touches on community engagement and mentorship in the field of accessible yoga.


Rodrigo Souza is an Adaptive and Accessible Yoga teacher who helps people with disabilities and trauma reclaim their strength through yoga. After a spinal cord injury left him paralyzed from the chest down, Rodrigo refused to give up. Instead, he built a life of purpose—creating a virtual studio, Allihopa Yoga, that serves people of all abilities worldwide.

He also mentors yoga teachers through the Accessible Yoga Ambassador & Mentorship Program, a powerful space to grow your teaching career while making a real difference.
