Thanks to Kino McGregor for this gift that makes yoga available to all people regardless of age, gender, body type, or cultural or religious tradition. We learn how to practice whether circumstances allow five minutes or five hours; whether we are healthy, sick, injured, or even getting older. We are taught to start where we are with what is here in the present and to work patiently and slowly in order to grow the real lovingkindness of yogaas we watch all of our thoughts and ego stories in their continual relationship to our internal breath and posture. Even from a modest beginning, learning to be so honestly embodied reveals the profound relief, joy, and occasional fun that yoga is.
Richard Freeman and Mary Taylor, authors of The Art of Vinyasa
The representation and modifications in this book make my heart sing! A must-have for all yoga practitioners!
Jessamyn Stanley, author of Every Body Yoga
If youre looking to design a practice unique to your needs, lifestyle, and body, then this is a great resource to begin! Filled with insightful information and practical instructions, this is a book that meets people where theyre at and allows them to flourish. As someone who has advocated for yoga for every body and everyone for over a decade, Im thrilled to see this message growing in power and scope. The more people who can get on the mat, the better!
Melanie Klein, editor of Yoga Rising
This book represents a turning point in the history of yoga, and Im moved beyond words to see the whole of humanity represented here. What a gift Kino is giving us by showing that yoga truly is for anyone who is interested in the transformation and peace that yoga offers us all.
Jivana Heyman, author of Accessible Yoga
Get Your Yoga On is an accessible, diverse, and well-versed book that illustrates the power of asana practice on our bodies, minds, and spirits. Kinos deep knowledge of yoga, paired with her unique ability to make it approachable, are beautifully displayed in this book and remind us that yoga is for every body.

DIANNE BONDY
I started practicing yoga when I was very young. My mom found Be Young with Yoga by Richard L. Hittleman at a used book sale in 1967 and decided to try it. When she introduced me to the practice, it felt natural and fun. Throughout my life, yoga has helped me navigate the world as a black woman in a plus-sized body. The world has always been interested in my physical appearance, and I have never measured up to popular cultures standards. My yoga practice changed how I saw myself in the world and showed me how I could influence consciousness on a much large scale.
As yoga became increasingly popular in the West, this ancient and powerful eight-limbed practice was reduced to the physical postures. It idealized practitioners who aligned with the Western beauty ideal: white, able-bodied, conventionally attractive, and thin. There seemed to be no place for people of color, elders, the less affluent, disabled bodies, or people in larger bodies. Yoga had become an exclusive club. This was very different from the yoga practice I loved, which focused on creating connection, contentment, harmony, and inclusiveness in the world.
Simultaneously, yogas guru principlea traditional system where a master teacher is the sole authority for a specific yoga lineageresulted in many abuses of power. Disguised as surrendering to the practice of yoga, practitioners were encouraged to surrender their autonomy and agency to the guru. People were harmed across many lineages and styles of yoga. These situations gave rise to a shift in how we share, teach, and experience yoga: the power of yoga resides within the student and not the teacher.
As modern yoga culture continues to grow, it is adapting to include our evolving ideas around agency, consent, accessibility, inclusion, and adaptability. We are moving away from the idea that there is one way to practice yoga. To paraphrase one of my favorite modern yogis, Colin Hall, yoga teacher and professor of religious studies at the University of Regina in Saskatchewan, It is the very nature of humanity to adapt, so one can argue yogas evolution to an accessible, adaptable practice is what is traditional.
We must be clear about our intentions for practicing. Yoga needs to be more about how we show up in the world and create equity, equality, accessibility, and justice for all bodies and less about beautifully curated pictures on social media. This practice of yoga needs to be about all of us regardless of our size, shape, age, ability, color, or gender identity. Representation matters in yoga as much as it does in other areas of our lives.
Throughout this book you will be guided by Kinos masterful understanding of Ashtanga yoga along with my interpretation of the practice for larger and nonconforming bodies. You will be encouraged to exercise your own sense of agency and autonomy within the practice. Get Your Yoga On will give you the tools to decide how you want to customize your practice to represent the individual needs of your body. We encourage you to explore your body as a vessel for joy, movement, and enlightenment.
