Chair Yoga / Movement is a unique class that offers something for everyone. Whether you’re looking to:
- Start a new exercise program.
- Recovering from an injury or surgery.
- Need a program that can help you move more freely.
- Already exercising and looking for variety.
- Looking to manage stress and improve sleep.
Don’t underestimate this 30-minute class. The benefits of this specially designed class will give amazing results in all aspects of your overall health. That’s why it’s being taught by our most experienced instructors, with decades of experience.
The class is done in a chair and/or standing. It’s designed to be a slower pace, giving you time to focus on movement and breathing.
For those just starting or recovering from a surgery or injury, it helps you rediscover your muscles so you can safely regain lost muscle strength and flexibility. For those who already exercise, it’s perfect for relieving exercise-induced inflammation, which can cause pain, stiffness, and fatigue.
“Imagine…sleeping better, enjoying more calm while having more energy.”
The breathing component helps move stale air out of the lungs and teaches you how to use more diaphragm muscles. Stronger diaphragm muscles help to improve core strength and improve posture, which helps decrease fall risk, the leading cause of injuries in older adults. A better oxygen exchange throughout the body is also known to promote healing, a sense of well-being, and calm, which improves sleep quality.
Breathing more deeply also helps lower the stress hormone in the body called cortisol. Chronically elevated cortisol levels weaken the muscles and the immune system and contribute to the inflammation that leads to chronic diseases such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and coronary artery disease.
