​Accessible & Safe Chair Yoga
Principles & Practice for Yoga Teachers, Trainers & Yogis
Chair yoga begins with awareness and kindness—with how we move, breathe, and connect with ourselves and others. It’s about who we teach.
For yoga teachers and trainers seeking clarity and for yogis seeking confidence, this book is both a guide and a companion. It’s a path featuring safe, adaptable chair-based practices that honours each person as they are, along with a journey of presence, connection, and compassion in every breath.
​Chair yoga is more than poses done on a chair—it’s a thoughtful, adaptable path grounded in care and mindfulness.

A note from a Chair Yogi:
A book can just be reading material. But it can be so much more, when the basis of it is to explain the ‘whys and wherefores’ of what it is trying to guide you towards. Learning and growing can only happen when there is a purpose in wanting to absorb details, and imbibe the logistics of what is being said. When you can understand the purpose and foundation of the instructions you are being given, you are able to comprehend the reasons behind it.
If you are in a yoga class, understanding why you are guided to do or avoid actions in poses makes the whole basis easier to follow and comprehend. This is what this book provides. It gives you so many ‘aha’ moments, you really enjoy reading on! And even more importantly, it always encourages you to honour what you feel is right for your body. ​Enjoy!
