Description

Gain valuable insight into the unique needs of active older adults and seniors of all abilities, creating accessible yoga experiences that support confidence, comfort, and connection.

Expand your teaching skills and learn how to bring the benefits of yoga to one of today’s fastest-growing populations. As active older adults and seniors of all abilities seek meaningful ways to remain active, independent, and connected, qualified instructors who can confidently offer chair-based and accessible yoga are increasingly in demand.
Chair yoga is not only for seniors. Students of every age may benefit from using a chair at different times in their practice due to injury, illness, limited mobility, balance concerns, recovery, or simply the need for additional support. This training will help you broaden your teaching abilities so you can welcome more students and bring yoga into a wide variety of settings—including assisted living facilities, senior centers, 55+ communities, community programs, healthcare environments, and traditional yoga classes.
Seniors is a required training within YogaFit’s 200-Hour RYT program and is also part of our 100-Hour Active Adults Specialty Certification. Anyone may attend, whether you are pursuing a certification or simply want to become a more versatile, inclusive, and confident yoga teacher.
This one-day workshop gives you practical tools for creating supportive yoga experiences that honor each student’s abilities while encouraging confidence, connection, and lifelong well-being.
