Is chair yoga for you?
Most enthusiastically YES! Chair yoga is a fantastic practice for flexibility, strength and balance for any person of any ability. It provides a solid base, literally, from which we can expand our awareness of our bodies, hearts and minds. Each class listed below will be linked up to a YouTube video once the class is complete.
Spring 2022 Chair Yoga Series - RECORDINGS
For this chair yoga series we will be incorporating the Five Elements (earth, water, fire, air, space) to get us in tune with our environment as we come into Spring. We will start each class learning about a mudra (hand gesture) and doing a guided meditation. We w ill then explore postures/sequences that relate to each element and learn about how to balance ourselves with these practices.
