Chair Yoga with Larissa
About Chair Yoga
You know that yoga has so much to offer but maybe you’re unsure where to start.
Maybe you feel nervous about trying something new, anxious you’re doing something wrong or worried you’ll hurt yourself.
“I am surprised by how adaptive chair yoga is and that it provides a better stretch and strength building opportunity than I thought it might. I feel I am able to achieve benefits that I don't in traditional standing poses as the chair eliminates concerns about balance, such as when doing warrior poses. I feel that I am building strength that will likely help to improve my balance.” - Linda
I’m so excited to offer a new Chair Yoga class to help you have fun and feel confident in your body!
This chair yoga class is intended for folks who:
are new to yoga or prefer a gentler yoga practice
would like to strengthen the body without the fear of losing your balance
are looking for an active yoga practice but would like to use a chair for added stability while seated and standing (note - this class includes the option to come to standing and down on the floor)
feel uncomfortable weight-bearing on wrists or knees due to injury, arthritis or mobility challenges
You don’t have to touch your toes or be at a certain fitness level to join us. Variations will be provided and you’ll be encouraged to listen to your body, take breaks, or opt out of movements as you like.
The intention of this Chair Yoga class is for you to:
Stretch and strengthen your body, plus challenge your balance in a beginner-friendly environment
Learn how to use yoga props (e.g., blocks, bolsters, blankets) to make the practice more accessible and more challenging
Feel confident in your understanding of common yoga asana and explore ways to practice yoga in a way that works for your body!
We welcome students of all ages (including older adults), students who are plus-size or in bigger bodies, LGBTQIA+ students, and people who don’t feel comfortable going to larger yoga studios.
Will you come practice with us? I would LOVE to have you in class!
