Let Your Yoga Dance®Teacher Training Teacher Training for Special Populations

For teachers and practitioners of many backgrounds: yoga, dance, Kripalu YogaDance™ physical therapists; and bodyworkers..

There are thousands of people who yearn to move their bodies, dance, and do yoga. The elderly, people with Parkinson’s, MS, breast cancer, arthritis, Alzheimer’s, and others with special needs may be prevented from moving as freely as they would like. YogaDance in a chair is a fabulous workout, a delightful experience, tempered for each student’s needs, that provides therapeutic benefits on all levels: physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual.

In this 5-day training, you will learn how to

  • Work with special populations
  • Create movement sequences from a chair
  • Provide a rich, complete, and powerful YogaDance class for someone who needs to stay seated
  • Use the chakras as the foundation for your class
  • Focus on the individual needs of each participant.

Megha Nancy Buttenheim has successfully used YogaDance in a weekly class called Let Your Yoga Dance for Parkinson’s in Richmond, Massachusetts. Join Megha and learn to lead YogaDance in (and sometimes out of) chairs for people with special needs.

Recommended prerequisite Kripalu YogaDance Teacher Training or a Let Your Yoga Dance weekend with Megha.
