ABOUT

As our population ages, elderly care and exercise are growing in demand and Chair Yoga is a wonderful option for anyone and especially people with impaired mobility. The practice of Chair Yoga is gentle and accessible to everyone, whether they are recovering from surgery, athletic injury, use a wheelchair, or just struggling from general stiffness, a tight back or reduced flexibility due to pain and tension. Physical therapists, yoga teachers, nurses, elderly care associates and administrators and senior living communities are all new and growing areas exploring this form of specialised yoga.

 

Learning Objective

  • Understand why Chair Yoga is important to add to your specialised yoga teaching skills
  • How to develop your own unique Chair Yoga sequences and classes that meet the specific needs of your students
  • Gain knowledge of proven teaching methodologies that provide a framework for safe and effective classes by observing, studying and analysing the practice of fellow classmates
  • Study therapeutic modifications and precautions for common conditions and issues in the aging population
  • Learn the anatomy of aging and how yoga can be applied specifically to the health issues that the 50+ population experience

 

Instill confidence and skills to empower you to teach Chair Yoga to seniors and people with limited mobility
