Can Chair Yoga Help Us All Practice Together? with Claire Cunneen Ep. 09

Claire Cunneen has a vision of a yoga class where we can all practice together - regardless of age, ability or circumstance - and from what I’ve witnessed, she’s making that dream a reality.

Claire is a yoga teacher, yoga therapist and LV Chair Yoga Teacher Trainer. She also has a Bachelor’s degree in Exercise & Sport Science and has been a group fitness instructor for over 20 years. Claire got serious about making her yoga classes inclusive and accessible to people of all ability levels, ages and fitness levels and traveled to New York to train with Lakshmi Voelker-Binder, founder of LV Chair Yoga.
