✴️ Chair Yoga for All Ages…Really!

Sunday June 15, 2025 2:00pm - 3:30pm EDT

Crane West

Chairs will be provided. Bring your mat!

Join Stephan and Ingrid in their wildly popular Chair Yoga class for all ages that is fun, challenging, invigorating, and inspiring (and perspiring!). We start in the chair for simple joint-opening movements, and then get up and create yoga flows using the chair as a prop that will surprise you and make you wonder why you haven’t done this before. Chair Yoga is great for people who may have stiff muscles, may have an injury, may not enjoy getting down to and up from the floor frequently (or at all), or who really enjoy learning a new way of practicing (and teaching) yoga. Some poses are actually deeper using a chair! It is a wonderful way to personalize your practice for your shifting daily needs. And, blissfully, you’ll experience a healing Savasana with your legs up on the chair, with Ingrid singing to you. : )
