WHAT STUDENTS ARE SAYING ABOUT THESE ONLINE CLASSES
"I took a couple of your toe, foot, and ankle strengthening classes last week and, amazingly, they saved me! Walking at the farmers market today my foot caught on a cobblestone and I started to fall forward, but I was able to push down on my toes and feet, and I did not fall!"
...
"I need the anti-anxiety, the breathing for calm, the grounding the class provides for me. Gentle yoga, because it is so deliberate, always appealed to me and now in a world that has been turned on its axis, it is essential."
...
"Not only am I getting quality teaching, but it's a time when I can feel connected with others. Feeling gratitude."
...
Chair Yoga Mon 11:00-11:45 am EST
Chair Yoga is our most gentle class and yet good and effective yoga. Come get your joints, muscles and circulation moving! Lots of stretches, twists, arching, forward and side-bending. Plus gentle strengthening in the core and legs and posture work every week. Much of the class is done sitting on a chair but we do stand and work on our balance while holding onto the chair. (Your choice to stand or continue sitting). Please use a sturdy chair.
