Yoga with a Chair – say what? Yes, yoga using a chair.

For older adults and people of any age with varying physical limitations, using a chair instead of the traditional mat is what makes yoga’s amazing fitness and health potential both accessible and safe.

Older Adults represent the fastest growing sector of our population and they are increasingly drawn to yoga.
This phenomenon is creating an increasing demand for well-trained yoga teachers.
