quote chair yoga serrves a purpose greater than asana

Not like regular studio and gym classes. Chair based yoga serves a purpose greater than asana.
Beyond the poses and the physical aspects of yoga, connection, community and inclusion are deeply ingrained in the practice of chair based yoga.

You can have a positive impact in the lives of your students and the wider community.
Finally achieve what you always set out to do when you completed your yoga teacher training:
Be of service to your students and have a positive impact in their lives with your gift of yoga.

As a chair yoga teacher myself, I really appreciate the sharing of different ideas in teaching chair yoga. I've participated in some of the Yoga Alliance video pieces of training, and read the newsletters too. Thank you for sharing your experiences. Gail P-B,

Extremely Inspiring!

I’ve recently undertaken chair yoga training with Maria and found it extremely inspiring.
Maria has lots of knowledge and brings her own personal experience as well as expertise.
She is very generous with her resources as part of the course so lots to go back to and use.
