Chair Yoga Stretch, Strength and Balance is a safe and fun way to incorporate yoga practices using both seated and optional standing postures. It gives you the same benefits of traditional yoga, while providing additional support and stability from the chair. A foundational, therapeutic practice that promotes balance, strength and flexibility. We will incorporate breath and posture awareness along with relaxation techniques.
- We will use props such as tennis balls, yoga blocks and straps for added strength, range of motion and balance.
- If you want your own tennis ball, please bring one. Other props will be provided.
- Optional standing poses will be offered. If you’d like to practice standing, you’re welcome to bring a yoga mat.
- Wear comfortable clothing and bring a water bottle
Join us for a fun and safe practice for every body!
