Learn how to adapt yoga practices using a chair
Throughout the chair yoga training you will learn how to teach seated yoga and use the chair as a prop, making it accessible in a number of settings and situations. There are lots of aspects of yoga that can easily be practiced in a chair without being adapted, and you will also find ways to bring these into the chair yoga class.
Chair yoga is beneficial in a range of settings and situations, from people needing extra support due to physical limitations to those sitting at work. Throughout this course you will explore the needs of your students, looking at how you make the practice accessible, inclusive and safe for everyone whilst teaching with an awareness of trauma.
