Yoga is known to improve physical, mental and emotional wellbeing. Chair Yoga classes are seated and standing sessions which have all the benefits of a traditional yoga class but the postures, stretches and joint care exercises are practised either standing or sitting on chairs, meaning those who struggle to get down and then up from the floor can more easily easily experience the benefits of yoga. A chair yoga class is great way to reduce stress and exercise the brain while maintaining or improving muscle strength and suppleness. As well as reducing stress, chair yoga can support the soothing of aches and pains and improvement in posture by strengthening and freeing our joints areas and tight muscles, this class will suit those who aren’t as fit as they might wish they were. The class includes gentle breathwork and relaxation. We know all bodies have their own history and therefore each person’s experience on the yoga chair and mat will be unique - each person working at a level to suit them.
Please note it is beneficial to practice yoga barefoot. You will need a yoga mat (not a thick exercise mat which is unsuitable). I can lend you a mat for the first class if you don’t have one in time. It is recommended that you wear layers so that you can adjust for temperature preference through the class.
