Greetings Teachers!
Today I taught Chair Yoga to a group of people using Wheelchairs. This is my 10th year of teaching at the same Skilled Nursing Facility/Assisted Living Center and I am happy to report I have 3 regular students that are still with me after 10 years!

Most others come and go for various reasons.....

I get alot of people who have taken a fall and they are in for rehab to get stronger. Some have had strokes, amputations and others suffer from dementia. Some have had accidents and are paralyzed, some have mental health or cognitive disorders.

No matter what their situation....I see the progress in each and every class I teach, and I know Yoga can be a huge blessing to this Community.
Does this Community have YOUR name on it?
I planted a seed 4 years ago that is ready to Sprout!!!

I knew that I wanted to expand Chair Yoga into the Wheelchair Yoga community but I only had a piece of the overall picture.

Enter 5 Yoga Teachers that the Universe brought into my life!

This collaboration is birthing the Academy's brand new Online Wheelchair Yoga Teacher Training Program! This Program has been a massive undertaking and the first of its kind because two of our Yoga Teacher contributors are Wheelchair Yogis and Yoga Teachers themselves!
Nina Boswell-Brown is a paraplegic and Tami Ridley is a quadriplegic. Both of them became paralyzed as young adults and they know first hand the physical and mental issues involved in using a Wheelchair for their mobility, and how Yoga has made such a positive impact in their life. The other 3 Yoga Teachers (Sarah, Pinush & Sage) brought their hearts and knowledge into this Program and provided even more amazing insight and content.
Pilot Program Teachers Wanted!
I am looking for 10 Academy Grads to Join the Pilot Wheelchair Yoga Teacher Training Program. It will be a 3-month Pilot starting October 1 through December 31.

I will be running the 3-Month FastTrack Mentor Program to work with each of you.. and Nina will be joining in on our team calls!! So exciting!!!
I am passing a piece of my baton!
FLY! Ms. Patsy! FLY!
After 12 Years....
Yes, it was 12 years ago when our local Library contacted me to teach a Chair Yoga class.

I have learned so much from teaching this class... like how to teach to a roomful of 40 seniors of different abilities.... how to keep my classes fresh by bringing in new movements, anatomy factoids and dances...and most importantly... how a strong community can be built by sharing something in common.

But, the time has come to hand it over to another Chair Yoga Teacher. This is part of the process of allowing others to grow and fly!
