Chair Yoga

Description: Chair Yoga is a gentle and accessible form of yoga specifically designed for older adults or individuals with mobility challenges. This practice offers the benefits of traditional yoga, such as improved flexibility, balance, and relaxation, while providing the support and stability of a chair. It eliminates the need for getting up and down from the floor, making it ideal for those with joint issues, chronic pain, or other physical limitations.

Note: Chair Yoga is open to all levels of experience, including those new to yoga. Participants are encouraged to listen to their bodies and move at their own pace. This practice is an excellent way to stay active, maintain independence, and nurture overall well-being.
