The Course That Completely Changed My View of Chair Yoga
I recently completed the 40-hour Chair Yoga Teacher Training with Melanie Wilson at My Tribe Training, and it exceeded all of my expectations.
I was drawn to the course for personal reasons, as my mum has dementia, and I wanted to learn more about making yoga accessible to people who may not be able to attend a traditional mat class. What I quickly realised, though, is that chair yoga isn't just for older adults or people with limited mobility. Melanie changed my perspective, showing how chair yoga can benefit almost anyone—whether that's someone recovering from injury, living with a health condition, lacking confidence, spending long hours at a desk, or simply wanting yoga to be more accessible. I came away with knowledge, practical experience and confidence, and I'm really excited to take chair yoga out into my local community.
Before this, I also completed my 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training with Melanie, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The quality of teaching, support and encouragement across both courses has been outstanding, and I wouldn't hesitate to train with My Tribe again.
One of the unexpected bonuses has been meeting other trainee teachers. We still keep in touch, share ideas and support each other, which has been lovely as we've all started our teaching journeys.
Thank you, Melanie, for another fantastic course. If you're considering any training with My Tribe, I would highly recommend it.
