A chair yoga class in session with the leader facing the class.

Exercise is one of the many activities that can become more difficult as we age. However, movement is incredibly important for both our bodies and minds. Thankfully, there are many ways to adjust exercises to make them more accessible! Chair yoga is a form of yoga that modifies traditional yoga poses so they can be done while seated or standing on the ground while using the chair for support. A chair will help with your stability and balance, allowing you to focus on the poses. This makes yoga accessible to individuals who may find standard yoga poses challenging, including seniors, those with mobility issues, or people recovering from injuries. Chair yoga is not just a practice but a journey towards better health and well-being. Incorporating a daily routine of chair yoga can improve flexibility, muscle tone, joint pain, and mental well-being. Start your chair yoga journey and embrace the path to a healthier, more flexible, and tranquil you. For your comfort and to aid in modifying some postures please bring a tie/strap, and blocks. A regular men’s tie or bath robe tie can be used. Blocks and straps can be purchased at the dollar store. Layer your clothing as you may get warm and cool off at the end of class.
