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.

Yoga meets you where you’re at with unconditional love.

Whether you are recovering from surgery, athletic injury, chronic condition, use a wheelchair, or have limited mobility or anyone seeking a more supportive practice.

Chair Yoga helps in promoting strength, flexibility, self love and longevity in this physical body we call home.

Designed for yoga teachers, wellness professionals, and caregivers seeking to make yoga accessible, safe, and empowering for all bodies and abilities. 

Course Includes

  • Asana – How to modify and adapt for various conditions, limitations and intentions. 

  • Sun Salutations & Vinyasa – How to adapt movement linked to breath for a chair Yoga class. 

  • Props – How to use chairs, wheelchairs, walkers, walls, straps, blocks to deepen Chair Yoga practices. 

  • Functional Anatomy – How to prevent injury and work with students with limited range of motion, and those working through injuries or have had surgeries

  • Pranayama – How to teach breathing exercises for stress reduction, and to let go of anything they’re caring or holding to deepen the experience of the class and to promote optimal lung health.

  • Meditation – How to successfully introduce students to various styles of meditation. Calming both the body and the mind to embrace and meet themselves where they’re at.Using mantra and Mudra, we will connect to place of bliss in body mind and spirit

  • Emotional anatomy – When we experience trauma, where does it get stored in the body

  • Nerve flossing - Some nerves can become irritated or compressed at times due to a number of different factors, and this results in pain, reduced mobility, and loss of coordination in areas of the body. 

You will be guided step-by-step, by Kevin Naidoo to create and confidently teach a full one-hour chair yoga class and you will learn how to create and guide powerful mini-breaks useful for anyone who sits in a chair.
