Yoga Therapy Ireland is delighted to host a 2 day training course with our own Elma Toland on 22nd and 29th May 2021.
Elma is one of the Founder Members of Yoga Therapy Ireland and has been involved in the development and delivery of our training courses since the commencement of the organisation.
As a Yoga teacher; Yoga Therapist (IAYT) and provider of CPD (Continuing Professional Development) courses, Elma has hands on experience, over long years, on the enormous benefits of using a Chair in both a regular yoga practise and a more therapeutic setting.
Over her two day training course, you can expect to:
- Understand the value of using a chair to practice yoga.
- Become aware of the different audiences and different situations and different abilities of students who would suit a chair class.
- Understand the value of chair yoga as therapy.
- Learn to present Joint Mobility Movements (Pawanmuktasana Series) on a chair.
- Learn to present Classical Yoga Asanas on a chair.
- Learn to use a chair as a prop for standing asanas.
- Learn to present breathing practices that are achievable, relevant, therapeutic and will focus on both raising energy and calming the nervous system.
- Learn to present simple mindfulness practices and meditation practices that are suitable and achievable.
- Learn simple relaxation techniques that relieve tension and promote relaxation of body, mind and nervous system.
- Learn how to simplify all yoga practices to make them suitable, supportive, achievable, engaging, relaxing, while also challenging. A full yoga practice can be presented on a chair.
Days will run from 10am to 4pm each day. A Training Course manual will be provided together with limited access to video recordings.
Cost for the course is E200 and a Training Certificate will be provided upon successful completion of all aspects of the course.
