Description
Chair yoga stems from Hatha yoga which provides the same benefits for the mind and body as you would when practicing on a mat. We will use breathing techniques to help us get into our postures and a great way to start yoga when you are a beginner or have an injury. Chair yoga isn’t just for the elderly, it’s a practice for those with limited flexibility and mobility issues. Poses are modified with the use of the chair to help with our balance throughout our practice.
This class will help improve our flexibility, strength and increase range of motions for our joints, which is especially important as we age. Other benefits one will see with consistent practice is enhanced awareness and focus, greater muscle tone, increased confidence, reduced levels of stress and less physical pain. Like all yoga, we will move our spine in all directions including: forward fold, side stretch, twist, backbend and invert. If you are new, have limited mobility, a chronic illness or you’ve sustained an injury, chair yoga is a slower practice and can help you stay active for a healthy spine. No class Apr 27.
