Online Chair Yoga for Seniors: January

Stretch and relax both your body and mind at home in this 30-minute gentle yoga class.

Class will consist of seated gentle movement, standing poses that use the chair for balance and support, and breathing and relaxation techniques. This class is accessible to all levels and abilities, and various modifications will be offered. Participants will NOT be visible to each other or to the instructor. An armless chair is preferred for the movement in this class.
