Description

Practice yoga using a chair instead of a mat! This class is designed for those with previous yoga or chair yoga experience and who want to take a challenging yoga class, but have difficulty getting up off of and down onto the floor. This quicker paced, flow style, chair yoga class will use the chair in sitting postures to help stretch and warm up the body followed by a series of standing and balance poses, using the chair for support when needed. These yoga based exercises and sequences are specifically designed those who want to stay healthy, keep moving, maintain their independence as they age and have a little fun trying new variations on traditional yoga poses to improve strength, flexibility and balance. Previous yoga or chair yoga experience is needed and students must be able to stand and walk independently, without the support of a walker or cane.

PLEASE BRING HAND SANITIZER TO CLASS FOR YOUR PERSONAL USE. IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO USE THE COMMUNITY MATS, BLOCKS, RESISTANCE STRAPS PLEASE BRING YOUR OWN.

This class is for those with previous yoga or chair yoga experience. Students should be able to walk and stand unassisted, without the support of a walker or a cane.
