Teaching Yoga to Older Adults using a Chair
Learning chair yoga can help you as a yoga teacher be able to safely and effectively offer yoga practices to a larger audience. Individuals with limited mobility, fatigue, balance issues, or health challenges can benefit from the practice. Chair Yoga offers similar benefits to a traditional yoga practice such as improved posture, strength, flexibility, balance, range of motion, circulation, reduced stress, and promotes overall wellbeing.
Learn by experiencing a short demonstration of a chair yoga class designed for older adults. If you are interested in teaching this population this is a great introduction to what it could look like.
