A Chair Yoga class taught by a CYA instructor consists of:
- A routine of safe yoga poses that are practiced slowly while
sitting in a chair, or using a chair for support when standing.
- Breath work & Meditation - to improve respiration and to
calm the body & mind.
Physical fitness, mental calmness, and stress reduction may be achieved through safe and consistent Chair Yoga practice.
