Chair Yoga Class and Teacher Training Reviews:
"Just a note to thank you for the class in chair yoga at the Jewish Community Center of San Francisco. This class, to which I look forward every week, has helped me limber up to the point where I feel more alive. I am able to move more easily with less effort. I also appreciate that you encourage your students to continue doing, at least, some of these exercises at home...in order to increase their benefits. I do 2 or 3 movements most every day." -Abe, student in weekly Chair Yoga for seniors class, 2/2018
"It's a very well done weekend program. I took this course last year and learned a lot of very practical and thoughtful adaptations. I highly recommend!" Betsy, yoga teacher, FL 2016 training
"I had no idea how powerful the chair yoga practice would be and to learn from such a committed teacher in the company of such a truly caring community of yoga teachers. I feel blessed to have received this training and honored to bring it forth into the world." LJ, Yoga Instructor
"I had no idea Chair Yoga could also be taught to ANYONE who wants a less rigorous practice, yet still involves ALL major movements." Janet, CA

"I just finished an amazing four day Chair Yoga Teacher Training Class with Staci Dooreck, owner of SunLight Yoga, at the Sivananda Yoga Retreat on Paradise Island in the Bahamas. Stacie is a born teacher and her passion for bringing yoga to everyone through Chair Yoga, was evident in her passionate, patient and thorough teaching style. A must course for any yoga instructor or physical therapist interested in Chair Yoga as a therapeutic tool for his or her patients. Her vast experience has allowed her to bring together the influences of many yoga styles and lineages in addition to those of Swami Sivananda. You are given more than enough ideas to create your own chair yoga sequences. I cannot wait to start in with mine!" Emily Blaskey, Physical Therapist, Eau Claire, Wisconsin

"I recently finished Stacie's 32 hour online Chair Yoga Teacher Training. I really enjoyed this course since, it has so much to offer, it is rich in informations, has wonderful videos, handouts and Stacie was always available and helpful if I had questions.

Bogi, Yoga Instructor; N. CA, Oct. 2019

“I would like to thank Stacie Dooreck and her comprehensive SunLight Chair Yoga Teacher Training program. Wow! The modules are impressive and FULL of great information - there is no doubt Stacie is an expert in her field! Stacie shares her information and knowledge in a way that makes you want to learn as much as you can! Upon starting the program, Stacie reached out personally through email making sure I knew she was accessible and available for questions. The SunLight Chair Yoga modules were continually updated with the latest information or videos. Stacie teaches in a way one can only hope to emulate in the future - with kindness, care, concern, and a welcoming attitude -- her phrase "yoga is for everyone" really shines through in this program. I am grateful for the knowledge, time and attention Stacie poured into this program.” Rebecca, VA 2/14/21
