Will more topics be added?
This Chair Yoga teacher training is already extensive and through with more topics needed to teach a weekly or daily Chair Yoga class. However, more videos and topics can be added, or as a new course if there is interest, a need or if it helps people. So contact me (Stacie) on www.sunlightchairyoga.com if you this course has most of what you want in a Chair Yoga teacher training but not quite all of it. Let's connect!
Can I take this course if I am not a yoga teacher?
Yes. This course is open to everyone including yoga teachers (as continuing education), nurses, OT's, social workers, PT's, MD's, caregivers and for those wanting to learn as much as they can about Chair Yoga and teaching it or perhaps just to share it with parents, grandparents or friends. This course is designed to cover the introduction to Chair YOga, yoga and philosophy and all needed to teach Chair Yoga, yet is also helpful and useful to benefit current Chair Yoga teaches and yoga teachers, and enhance their teachings..
