Chair Yoga uses a stable chair to provide support to a yoga practice. Perfect for anyone, chair yoga works to increase strength by using body weight resistance, Thera-bands or hand weights. Regular practitioners report increased joint mobility and increased flexibility. Each class contains balance exercises that challenge stability, educating the body on how to remain upright through daily activities. Regularly practicing balance challenging movements can improve proprioception and reduce the risk of falls.

Studies have shown that Chair Yoga can help alleviate discomfort caused by conditions such as arthritis, osteoporosis, or back pain. Gentle movements can help relieve tension, improve circulation, and reduce pain in affected areas. Mindfulness and breathing techniques are a part of every practice, these can have a calming effect on the nervous system. Practitioners often report reduced stress, increased mental clarity, and improved overall mood.

The most important benefit of Chair Yoga is the sense of community that develops as we practice together. It's a versatile form of yoga that can be adapted to various mobility levels, making it accessible to a wide range of individuals.
