Chair Yoga for Health and Wellbeing focuses on gently increasing mobility and strength while supporting a calm, balanced mind. Using a chair makes movements safe, accessible, and effective - allowing body, breath, and awareness to move together in new and supportive ways.

This is a welcoming, inclusive practice suitable for all abilities and experience levels.

What to Expect

• Gentle yet effective movements

Why Chair Yoga?

Chair Yoga adapts the ancient practice of yoga to make it accessible for everyone. The chair offers support and confidence, making yoga available regardless of age, fitness level, or injury history.
