"Excellent 30 hours Yoga Alliance approved course that gave thorough and detailed explanations and cues for each of the asanas and covered all aspects of teaching chair yoga to clients. The videos are calming and engaging with superb audio and video demonstrations. I started teaching my elderly mother the very next day that I finished the course. I’m hoping Amanda will add new YACEP courses in the future!"
Andrea Luis Y Prado
"This course was so fun to work through. I really enjoyed learning and doing the different asanas. Using the chair created a safe space for me to feel the medicine of the asanas. It was also great to refresh my memory about anatomy and philosophy. Very well-rounded and engaging course. Thank you. I look forward to incorporating chair yoga into my classes."
