NEW! Chair Yoga
This is the gentlest form of yoga. As yoga poses are typically done on the floor, Chair Yoga is easier for those with less limber muscles. It is ideal for poeple with high blood pressure, anxiety, chronic fatigue syndrome, arthritis, vertigo, MS, carpel tunnel syndrome, chronic pain, and for anyone who finds it difficult to get up from or down to the floor. Class is held every first Friday of the month.
By doing strength and stability exercises regularly, you can help reduce your risk of injury from an accident. Class starts out with strength exercises and incorporates balance techniques. Over time, you will notice that you feel steady and more confident when you move and engage in daily activities. Also available to Friday Drop-in members!
