New! - Chair Yoga
Hi everyone
I have been teaching Chair Yoga to the Stepping Out Cancer Rehabilitation Group every few weeks for the last four years and I have been asked a number of times recently if it's something I teach on a weekly basis, so I decided to go ahead and offer a weekly Chair Yoga class on a Wednesday morning 11:30 - 12:30.
The Chair Yoga I teach adapts traditional yoga poses to ensure that they are accessible for those who might find a full yoga class challenging, particularly if getting up and down from the floor is becoming more difficult.
The type of yoga I teach is Hatha Yoga which is more than just a physical exercise, it is a holistic practice encompassing the mind, body and spirit.
Each 60 minute class follows a theme from one of the classical yoga texts. Using this as a base you will gradually prepare your body so that you can achieve the best peak posture on any given day. The practice ends with a guided meditation or relaxation related to the theme of the class. The cost per class will be £10.00.
Everyone is encouraged to listen to their own body, to do only what is possible on any given day, and to overcome the need to judge or compare.
The benefits are far-reaching, and a regular Hatha Yoga practice will:
improve the strength, balance and flexibility of your body
Improve posture
reduce stress and anxiety
bring stillness to your mind
and make you feel wonderful!
If you are interested in enjoying the many body and mind benefits that practising Chair Yoga can bring, or have any questions, please email me at foreveractiveyoga@gmail.com
Take care
