Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG)
The WCAG is a comprehensive standard for creating accessible digital content, ensuring it is usable by individuals with disabilities, including those with visual, auditory, and motor impairments. Following WCAG principles (Perceivable, Operable, Understandable, and Robust) helps designers create inclusive learning materials.
Pros: Universal applicability, detailed guidelines, and wide adoption.
Cons: The depth of detail can feel overwhelming for beginners. By focusing on core principles, yoga educators can make their online classes, resources, and websites accessible to all.
