What is Chair Yoga?
Yoga is a physical and mental practice that combines movement, breath control, and mindfulness to improve flexibility, strength, and relaxation.
Chair yoga is a unique form of yoga done while seated or using a chair for support. It makes yoga accessible to people with limited mobility, balance issues, or those who just want a less physically demanding practice, offering many of the same benefits - and some unique advantages! -without the need to get on the floor or wear any special clothes. We do use small weights on a few exercises (2-3 lb) so if you have some, bring them - or we'll figure out how to get you some.
Where is it available?
Every Wednesday 1:00 at Aldie United Methodist Church, 39325 Little River Tpke in Aldie, in the Pinky and Stanley Rice Social Hall.
