Chair Yoga Training

Chair Yoga is a way to ‘Sit Your Way to Better Health’.

The baby-boom generation is turning 65 at a rate of 8,000 people a day and expected to almost double by 2030. There is a huge demand for Chair Yoga movement-based wellness services. Join Jessica Rosenberg, YACEP, E-RYT/500, 200/500 RYS, Reiki Master, BFA, MID, for an interactive and educational Chair Yoga – Breathing & Movement intensive. Study all of the materials in this program, she created in 2008, that were researched in 2014 by the Earl Bakken University of Minnesota, Center for Spirituality and Healing.

Learn dynamic, safe, and effectively ways to enrich the lives of all people through the positive yogic principles and mindfulness practices that are incorporated into Chair Yoga Training. Chair Yoga’s therapeutic adaptive exercises work the body from head to toe promoting well-being. The movements help to alleviate chronic pain, relieve high anxiety and stress levels, elevate quality of life, lower blood pressure, improve sleep patterns, and manage depression. The modified stretches are great for people in any condition to do anytime and anywhere, whether in a yoga studio, in a school classroom, at a business as a mid-day office break, or in a nursing home facility.

The workshop is packed full of practical tools to become a qualified Chair Yoga teacher – poses, breathing exercises, games, and relaxation techniques – for you to create infinite number of engaging classes. We will also be discussing many topics from the benefits of yoga fitness in a chair, anatomy, body-mind connection, and props. You will even have an opportunity to develop and present to the group your own Chair Yoga pose.
