Testimonials
"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 absolutely amazing! As someone who has been practicing chair yoga for two years, I’ve always wanted to deepen my understanding and get certified to share this incredible practice with my students. This course provided a clear and thorough foundation in chair yoga, and I now feel confident in my ability to teach it effectively. Chair yoga has so many benefits, and I'm excited to pass on the knowledge I've gained. Thank you for this fantastic opportunity!"
Ani Aghajanyan
"Amanda is a lovely teacher. I could easily follow, understand and enjoy her clear concise teachings. I really enjoyed the benefits of practising the videos and learning to sequence my own class and practising myself. Ive been teaching for years and feel like I’ve learned more valuable skills that I will be able to share with my family, work colleagues, friends, and community. The documents are downloaded and saved on my device so I can review them anytime. The videos are easy to watch. Amanda’s voice is soothing and clear. I felt like I was learning from her in person and appreciated the time to lovingly weave all of these details into a wonderful chair yoga course."
Deborah Fowler
"This was a wonderful training--informative, comprehensive, friendly, calm and encouraging, easy to understand. The videos were excellent--really clearly showed how to do the poses and cue them. And the downloadable resources are also very helpful. I now feel ready to begin teaching chair yoga, and am sure that I'll return to this training to refresh my learning as needed."
Cheri Smith
"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."
