Introduction to Chair Yoga

The course is for anyone who is a yoga student, practitioner, or teacher or someone who is interested in learning about safe and effective chair yoga practice.

There are no pre-requisites for this course. There is no required reading, however we recommend Accessible Yoga: Poses and Practices for Every Body by Jivana Heyman as a complementary resource to this course.

You do not need to have completed a 200 hr Yoga Teacher Training to enroll in this course. The course is open to anyone. We will explore various yoga practices in the chair, practice together, and reflect on weekly themes.

There will be an asana practice each week. These practices will always be offered seated in a chair. You will need various props, a computer or tablet and and Internet connection to watch the pre-recorded videos.

Yes this training is 100% online. Here's how it works:

• Upon enrollment you'll gain access to your online portal, which includes some introductory details, course schedule and session outlines, and the link to access the live online training sessions.
• All live training sessions will be offered through Zoom, a videoconferencing application. You can watch and interact on your phone, tablet, or computer.
