I am a champion in chair based yoga and adapted yoga movement. As a chronically ill person, I have not always been able to practice yoga with ease. Either in pain, or experiencing fatigue, stiffness and weakness in my body it has not been easy to find yoga classes that accounted for my limited abilities. When I became a yoga teacher I quickly decided to develop teaching skills that make the practice available to those less able, older and chronically ill.\u201d","subt_text":"The views expressed in this online workshop\/virtual event are those of the participant(s) and do not purport to reflect the policy or position of Yoga Alliance (YA) or the Yoga Alliance Foundation (YAF).
