CHAIR YOGA Teacher TRAINING VANCOUVER

Chai Yoga Teacher Training - Karma Teachers

Why Chair Yoga?

Many lineages of Yoga can be adapted for practice in a chair, allowing a wide population range to experience its benefits. Chair Yoga is definitely NOT just for those with impaired mobility, however - it is a wellness practice that can be done anytime, anywhere while wearing street clothes.

Elevate your leadership and teaching capabilities in the 30hr Chair Yoga Training with Tanya. Build masterful sessions designed around the common chair to create uncommon and unforgettable yoga experiences.

Elderly care and exercise are growing in demand as our population ages. Offices are opening up as well as Senior Centres. Create breakthroughs for your students, office workers, seniors, anyone with limited mobility or chronic illness, those in wheelchairs, and for all ages and abilities.

Chair Yoga is also developing into an extremely effective wellness practice impacting the workplace! Many companies are incorporating Yoga, especially Chair Yoga, into their employment packages as part of their company benefits. Not only does it make their workplace stand out from the crowd, but it facilitates team bonding, keeps employees healthy and active, and increases productivity. With more and more people either working from or voluntarily staying, at home, being able to do Yoga in your living room or office with very little preparation and no equipment is increasingly in demand!

Tanya’s 25-Hour Chair Yoga Teacher Training prepares Yoga teachers to adapt traditional Yoga Asana into vibrant and interesting seated practices so that students of any age, shape, ability or any location may enjoy a Yoga class safely and comfortably.
