Course Description

This course teaches chair yoga designed for Encore participants who want to support their well-being. Chair yoga is an accessible style of yoga using a chair for support. It’s suitable for all levels and ages, whether you have limited mobility or arthritis, are rehabilitating an injury, or just are looking to move at a slower pace and with extra support during stretches and asanas (poses). During your chair yoga class, typical yoga poses, or asanas, are modified to include the support of chairs. Chairs and other equipment that may be used include yoga blocks, balls and bands. Each 50-minute session blends gentle yoga-based movement with practical wellness education. Participants will explore learning everyday routines for improving balance, breath, mobility and mind-body awareness. No prior experience is required. Chair yoga stretches the body while sitting in a chair to increase the range of motion of muscles in your body. Yoga is a mind-body practice that allows focused attention on our balance and strength. The benefits of yoga include improved flexibility and joint mobility; building long, lean muscle and core strength; reducing stress and improving mental clarity; supporting posture; balance and coordination; preventing injury and supporting recovery; and enhancing the mind-body connection through relaxation. The class is designed to be welcoming, practical and empowering.
