Chair Yoga at Chaddesley Corbett

About the classes

Chair Yoga opens up the world of yoga to individuals who, due to some kind of physical limitation, wouldn't normally be able to take part in a regular yoga session. This latest incarnation of yoga helps to improve strength, flexibility, balance and overall mobility from a safe and supported position. It is targetted towards seniors, those with disabilities, or those recovering from injury or illness. It is also suitable for those who are simply out of condition and would like to start yoga from a more supported position. The chair offers an excellent foundation for many of the yoga postures. All of the exercises are performed from either a seated position, or standing using the chair for support. ​ This fabulous new session makes physical yoga accessible to everyone. Various breathing techniques and relaxation exercises to calm the body and mind will also be explored, allowing individuals to benefit from everything yoga offers, without being limited by physical ability. ​​In several studies, regular chair yoga sessions resulted in improvements in mobility, lung function, flexibility, balance, sit to standing time, self-confidence and overall quality of life in all subjects.​ The class at Chaddesley Corbett Village Halle takes place on Tuesdays at 12.45pm and is suitable for anyone. It is particularly great for seniors who are looking to maintain mobility as they go into their later years. You can book online or call 07878708338
