Chair Yoga Online Classes

Picture
Chair Yoga is an accessible practice that has the same benefits of yoga on a mat, but with the use of a chair. While this practice is typically sought out by older adults & folks with limited mobility, Chair Yoga is a great option for anyone who simply is looking for something different.  While a Chair practice is typically thought of as more gentle than a mat practice, instructors give various options for poses & movements that challenge students' balance, strength & concentration. 

What does a Chair Yoga practice look like?
Practice typically consists of:
  • A grounding meditation to get people centered & focused
  • Stretches & shapes that explore versions of twists, hip stretches, forward bends & heart openers
  • Movements that focus on developing strength of small & large muscle groups
  • Breath exercises
  • Ending relaxation 

Why Chair Yoga?
Chair Yoga is a great tool for folks who would like to take their practice off of the mat for any reason. Some people prefer Chair Yoga over a mat practice since there's no weight-bearing on the hands or knees.  Chair yoga has the potential to improve posture while helping students become more aware of their physical body & daily movement patterns while increasing strength & flexibility. 

How much does it cost? 
As part of Sangha’s Community Yoga Programs, chair yoga classes are complementary to participants. Sangha is a nonprofit, donation-based yoga studio with the goal of making yoga financially affordable and accessible to all. We are happy to be able to share this practice with you!

Are there in-person classes to take?
Unfortunately, we will not be teaching in-person classes until COVID is no longer a threat. Our priority is keeping our community safe & we feel that keeping classes online is more beneficial for the healthy of our students, teachers & collaborative partners


The chance to pick up this wonderful experience again with the offer of online classes really excited me. I was going to feel good again! Emily's class on Fridays was so well run, she demonstrated each different move clearly & gave the instructions in a well modulated voice. There was no stress. The class was great & I know I'll feel better the more I experience Emily's Friday classes.

Hi, friend!
