About
Lakshmi Voelker developed chair yoga in 1982 and has spent over four decades making yoga accessible to people with limited mobility, chronic illness, and disability. Her online platform draws on this foundational expertise and has offered live and on-demand classes since 2011.
What It Does
The platform hosts 50+ on-demand chair yoga classes ranging from 5 to 60 minutes, with each pose demonstrated at multiple levels of flexibility so participants can find their appropriate entry point. A dedicated wheelchair yoga section and a teacher training programme — developed in partnership with the Accessible Chair Yoga network — round out the offering.
Who It Helps
Lakshmi Voelker Chair Yoga is designed for wheelchair users, people with limited mobility, and those managing fibromyalgia, arthritis, Parkinson's, stroke, osteoporosis, and other chronic conditions. Tuition aid is available, and the multi-level pose demonstrations make the platform genuinely accessible regardless of current ability.
