Part 1: Lakshmi Voelker Chair Yoga Teacher Training

Teach Yoga for Seniors, Disability, Limited Mobility and Chronic Conditions

Do you know people who would benefit from yoga, but:

• Cannot get down to (or up from) the floor due to age, disability, inflexibility, or injury?
• Getting on the floor is impractical (while at work, travelling, etc.)?

Traditionally, these people have been unable to reap all the exceptional benefits of yoga. Chair yoga makes it possible! With an ageing population and the advent of social prescribing, qualified chair yoga teachers are now in great demand, and this course provides all the competencies needed to teach safe and effective chair yoga to any required standards. This course also forms Part 1 of the IAYT Pathway CPD on Accessible Chair Yoga for Yoga Therapists.
