📖 The Creator of Chair Yoga!

Lakshmi Voelker, E-RYT500, C-IAYT, YACEP, KYT, AY Ambassador is a certified Kripalu Yoga instructor, a member of the Yoga Alliance and International Association of Yoga Therapists, and holder of other certifications. She created chair yoga and the premier chair yoga teacher training certification.

She has dedicated her life to creating accessible yoga, fun paths to wellness. With her chair yoga,

she was able to bring adaptive fitness to those who could not benefit from traditional activities. This might be due to age or limiting physical/mental conditions or environment/location. Lakshmi created Lakshmi Voelker Chair Yoga in 1982. It was followed by Lakshmi Voelker Chair Yoga—The Sitting Mountain Series CD in 1990 and the DVD—Get Fit Where You Sit in 2007. In 2007, she formalized her unique Levels of Flexibility® that she had been using in teaching chair yoga classes to bring this capability to her certification program. In 2023, she will be releasing her book "Get Fit Where You Sit"

One of the things I love most about chair yoga is that it teaches us to pay attention.

Not just to movement —
but to breath, posture, tension, effort, ease, and the nervous system itself.

Sometimes the quiet moments are the practice.

Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health Chair Yoga Teacher Training is ON!!!
Follow us this week for more updates :)

Opening night of the Lakshmi Voelker Chair Yoga Teacher Training at Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health.

One of the core philosophies of this work is that chair yoga is real yoga — not “less than” mat yoga, but an authentic and powerful practice in its own right.

Chair yoga can support strength, balance, breath, nervous system regulation, mobility, awareness, and connection across all stages of life.

Honored to be presenting side by side with Lakshmi this week as we explore this work more deeply.

Support Bruce & Lakshmi 💛

After navigating a series of financial challenges, Bruce and Lakshmi are working toward a fresh start—a one-time “financial reset” to stabilize their situation and move forward with security and peace of mind.

This fundraiser is about helping them cover essential expenses, relieve ongoing financial strain, and create a more sustainable foundation for the future. Like so many, unexpected setbacks have made it difficult to regain footing—but with community support, a reset is within reach.

Every donation, no matter the size, helps lighten the burden and brings them one step closer to stability. If you’re not able to give, sharing their story can make a meaningful difference too.

Let’s come together to support a new beginning. 💫
