Chair Yoga Teacher Training in Norwich
This course will provide you with new skills and creative ideas to offer to your friends, family or in classes. It’s a great practice for everyone, not just seniors and the less able-bodied, but also those who would like to learn different ways to enjoy their yoga practice without a mat: travellers, office workers…and anyone who finds themselves sitting down with 5 minutes to spare.
There will be plenty of opportunity for teaching practice, as well discussion of common conditions and age-related health issues and appropriate practices.
This training will take place at Yantra Studio, Norwich
