There is NO HOMEWORK!
This course is 100% SELF-PACED
The course begins with the basics of Yoga philosophy and how we can apply these teachings to the broad audience of a chair yoga class. The course then goes into basic seated postures through to advanced seated postures and sequences. Learn how to modify classic standing asanas (poses) with the chair, so that your class is supportive of all levels of practitioner. Then, shake up your practice even more by learning how to incorporate props like bands, straps and weights into the seated portion of your class. The course ends with an introduction into restorative chair yoga and general relaxation techniques.
At the end of the training we reinforce everything learned through a short quiz.
Remember, this content is yours FOR LIFE! And our course creator Emily will always be here to support you with any future questions.

Emily is very gentle and informative in the delivery of her lessons. I like how she has first the written sequence to demonstrate it later so it becomes easy to follow. It's a lovely course and I'm sure I can find more creative ways to use the chair! I would have given 5 stars if not for the soft audio (sorry!).
This was a good match for me since I ight be teaching chair yoga to senior populations. I really liked the teacher and the course. Theonly negative was thatwhen I finished the course it kept saying i had 95-98% completed where I did have 100% completed. Some type of tech glitch maybe. Emily said she would give me the 100 % and my certificate.
Excellent Course! Everything is explained clearly and I especially like the options that you’re able to give your studentthrough the yoga sequencing. I would recommend this course to all who want you teach chair yoga !
As a Power Vinyasa teacher, I’m learning so much in this course - it is such a different style than I am used to. The instructor is engaging and interesting.
Emily is a terrific instructor. She's clearly knowledgeable and had a ton of tips that really impressed me. I'll be coming back to this course as a reference for a long time!
very low audio, difficult to follow even though my volume was at max would have liked to see both sides of each pose demonstrated would like an entire seated/chair assisted 50 or 55 minute class without mat or props, as I will be teaching mainly elderly populations who will not be able to be on a mat nor employ props Overall, a very well designed and demonstrated course.
As a fellow chair yoga instructor, I found this content super reliable and left with some new ideas to bring to my classes which is always a plus! I'd love to see a course on creative chair sequencing! It's a challenge, but I'm up for it. :)
Ms. Emily teaches in a compassionate way and covers a wide range of Chair Yoga poses in this course. The sequencing of pose groups and small bite size videos and corresponding documents made it easy to learn and digest the information. I made a booklet from all the printout materials and I know I will refer to them again and again in the future. I love her trauma lecture and made a real connection to the fact the we all have some form of past trauma, and all yoga classes should be taught from that knowing. The Restorative section could have been a bit more detailed on ways to use bolsters and blocks with the chair, but other than that, great course.
A useful course for yoga teacher to teach for all level students . Safe for all level students and many more modification can be done using the yoga chair.
Informative, well explained and I can sense that Emily truly cares for her students. I am excited to start teaching chair yoga, and this course has sparked my interest in learning more.
Super strukturiert, viele Hintergrundinformationen, gut verständliche Sprache und umfassende Erklärung. Tolle Ideen und sehr praxisorientiert. Vielen Dank!
Great demonstrations of each modification.
