The Yoga Wall Playbook

The Yoga Wall Playbook is a comprehensive yoga wall book and training manual for practicing and teaching with the Great Yoga Wall®. Written by yoga educator and body mechanic Angie Ryan, this practical guide combines clear instruction, safety-focused alignment, and accessible teaching methods developed through years of hands-on experience with real students and real bodies.

Inside, you will find more than 80 yoga wall postures with step-by-step instructions, wall belt setup, purpose, benefits, contraindications, alignment cues, modifications, and teaching tips. Rather than simply showing what a pose looks like, this manual helps readers understand how to enter, experience, teach, and exit each posture with greater clarity and confidence.

The book also includes:

• 12 ready-to-use yoga wall class plans

• A complete restorative yoga wall sequence

• A therapeutic-style class plan

• Quick-reference photographs for class planning

• QR codes linking to video demonstrations

• Guidance for traction, decompression, supported movement, strength, balance, and mobility

• Safety considerations for yoga teachers, students, and studio owners

With a strong emphasis on functional movement, body mechanics, and the relationship between posture and discomfort, The Yoga Wall Playbook explores how wall-supported practice can reduce unnecessary strain, improve movement awareness, and help students develop more efficient movement patterns. Mindful pacing and trauma-aware considerations support safe, empowering experiences for a wide range of practitioners.

Designed for yoga teachers, yoga students, studio owners, bodyworkers, and anyone interested in the therapeutic potential of the yoga wall, this book serves as both a personal practice companion and a professional teaching resource. It is especially valuable for instructors developing yoga wall classes, private sessions, workshops, and yoga wall teacher trainings.

Whether you are looking for a yoga wall book, a Great Yoga Wall manual, ready-made yoga wall class plans, or a detailed resource for yoga wall training, The Yoga Wall Playbook provides the structure, instruction, and inspiration needed to bring yoga wall practice to life.
