Yoga isn’t something people need to adapt to—it’s inherently flexible, welcoming everyone regardless of age, injury, or perceived limitations. This training is your opportunity to break barriers and make yoga accessible to all, empowering you to adapt the practice to meet the unique needs of your students without compromising its profound benefits.

What You’ll Learn:
How to create inclusive, adaptable yoga classes for students of all abilities.
Observing and understanding group dynamics to offer modifications seamlessly, maintaining the flow of the class.
Effective methodologies for working with students facing mobility challenges, injuries, chronic pain, heart conditions, anxiety, or pregnancy.
Designing sequences for students starting later in life or with varying fitness levels.

Philosophy Meets Practice: This training goes beyond the physical practice, exploring the deeper roots of yoga. You’ll dive into the philosophy behind the poses, classical yoga teachings, and how to bring yoga into daily life. Learn how to:

  • Sequence classes for diverse needs.
  • Adapt common postures with purpose and precision.
  • Support back care, chronic pain, and psychological challenges.
  • Teach the philosophy of asanas and how they cultivate inner peace.
  • Apply the 4 paths of yoga to life beyond the mat.
  • Use the 8 limbs of yoga as tools for acceptance and personal growth.

Why This Training Stands Out:

Led by Anjaneya, a passionate teacher with over 20 years of experience, this course is infused with joy and a deep belief that yoga is for everyone. Anjaneya’s energy is contagious, and his approach will give you the confidence to share yoga with those who never thought it was possible. Beyond asanas, you’ll learn how to address root causes of discomfort and guide your students toward holistic well-being.

Benefits of the Program:
Confidence to offer safe, effective variations for any student.
Skills to design or adjust sequences on the spot, based on who shows up to your class.

The ability to share yoga with individuals who thought they couldn’t practice—whether due to injury, chronic pain, or other challenges.
Enhanced observation skills to make your teaching fluid, graceful, and inclusive.

Join this inspiring training and become the teacher who opens the door to yoga for everyone. With the tools and insights you’ll gain, you’ll help students rediscover their potential and experience the life-changing benefits of yoga.

This course is preceded by Chair Yoga Teacher Training. We invite you extend your stay and attend both.

Both courses qualify for 20 CEU’s with Yoga Alliance, which includes personal daily yoga practice/classes and time spent at AM and PM satsang.

Anjaneya, Michael Hutkins, is a yoga teacher, trainer and yoga therapist, living in Cantley, Quebec. Studying at several Sivananda ashrams in Canada, the USA and India has allowed Anjaneya to live with his teachers and be fully immersed in the yoga experience.

He first became interested in chair yoga when sharing yoga with his grandparents and this motivated him to learn more about it and begin sharing chair yoga in retirement homes and long term care facilities as well as with corporate clients.

Through teaching traditional yoga classes Anjaneya also observed that many students needed adaptations to make the practice more accessible. Studying with many experienced teachers, he learned to adapt the practice to all students, from minor modifications to large adaptations due to more severe injuries or limitation without losing the essence of the practice. Now Anjaneya is happy to share his 20 years of teaching and training experience with you.
