Chair Yoga is a very gentle form of Yoga. If you want to
enjoy the benefits of yoga but thought it would be too
hard, try this class! Everyday activities will become easier as you focus on posture, breathing, and stretching.
You will practice modified yoga positions while sitting
on a chair or standing. Chair Yoga is a wonderful choice
if you use a cane, walker, or wheelchair, and it allows
you to avoid the ups and downs of more traditional yoga
classes.
