CHAIR YOGA (55 years & over)

Developed for those who cannot get up and down from the floor. There’s still a lot of Yoga that can be done in a chair. Special breath - ing practices, gentle joint move - ments, and muscle strengthening will all take place in this fun class. We also do some poses while standing, using the chair for sup - port. No class May 18.

It differs from a Gentle Yoga class in that it as- sumes that you have a fundamen- tal level of fitness, as well as, little or no back pain. This class will help you develop strength and balance, while also working on flexibility and providing you the tools for stress reduction. No class May 24 .
