Mind Body Chair Yoga online and in-person

What we do in this class

Mind~Body~Chair Yoga offers the perfect opportunity to explore yoga postures mindfully in an active, yet accessible way for strength, flexibility, healing and mobility.  The class combines both energizing and relaxing movement seated in the chair or standing.  The chair is utilized for safety and support, if needed. We also explore postures laying down on the floor or standing against a wall.

Mindfulness:

Mindfulness is emphasized throughout the Mind~Body~Chair Yoga practice.  Mindfulness is the practice of focusing one’s awareness on the present moment, while acknowledging and accepting one’s feelings, thoughts, and bodily sensations.  Cultivating mindfulness both on and off the mat supports mind/body connection which can help us to increase our ability to regulate emotions, decrease stress, anxiety and depression. It can also help to focus our attention and observe our thoughts and feelings without judgment, ultimately leading to a happier and more satisfying life.
