Chair Yoga for Adults Adults 16 +<br />
Chair yoga is a modified form <strong>of</strong> yoga where we practice on chairs. It is<br />
designed for the middle aged or elderly to strengthen and tone muscles,<br />
tendons, joints and glands. You won’t have to get up and down from the<br />
floor but can benefit from postures performed on and around the chair.<br />
Chair yoga is a wonderfully gentle way to keep in shape or get back into<br />
shape. You will learn proper breathing so that your body is using oxygen<br />
at maximum capacity which influences the flow <strong>of</strong> blood while you are in a<br />
posture. The gentle movements, holding a pose, breath and blood move<br />
to the various joints and systems providing a ‘squeeze and soak’ effect<br />
which is all your body desires to feel good, heal, and <strong>of</strong>fer a sense <strong>of</strong> wellbeing.<br />
After the first class we will work with 1-3 lb. weights for part <strong>of</strong> the<br />
class to increase strength and stamina. There will be a short relaxation<br />
and meditation portion toward the end <strong>of</strong> the class. Come and try our new<br />
chair yoga class and see how great you feel after just one class! Patty<br />

fat and relax. The first 30 minutes includes simple low-impact aerobics<br />
