Description
Movement is medicine. Treat yourself (or a loved one) to this program of movement "vitamins"!
The focus of this program is on actual class time. There are seven classes in total, each one between 40 and 50 minutes long. Six classes use a chair for support and one class uses a wall.
Every class begins and ends with a brief check-in/meditation to help you get centred. Poses are presented along with possible modifications, i.e. ways to adapt these movements to your own particular needs and abilities. At the end of each class there is another brief check-in/meditation to integrate the benefits of your practice.
Each class is a complete and balanced session in itself, but it is the cumulative effect of these classes, done in order, that has the potential to really expand your movement capacity. Designed as a gentle progression, this practice builds flexibility, mobility, strength, balance, coordination and confidence. An "active recovery" class halfway through the program provides an opportunity to release tension and enjoy some ease.
This program is perfect for:
beginners looking for a low-risk, low-stakes way to try yoga for the first time
seniors looking for exercise that is easy on the joints and known to reduce aches and pains
those who because of injury or limitations in mobility want to avoid standing poses and/or floor poses
anyone who is sedentary and wants chair exercises to offset the negative effects of prolonged sitting
anyone that can benefit from a convenient and affordable chair yoga program
yoga teachers looking for creative moves and novel sequences to add to their chair yoga repertoire
