Chair Yoga

Chair Yoga is a gentle and accessible form of yoga for individuals who may have mobility challenges or who prefer a seated practice. Most of the poses are performed while sitting. There are also standing poses that are done standing behind the chair while holding on for support as needed. Modifications are encouraged so that each pose works for the individual. There will be a strong focus on exploring range of motion, lengthening while strengthening, balance, and stability.
