WHY CHAIR YOGA?

A woman asked me why I wanted to teach Chair Yoga here on Longboat Key?  I gathered my thoughts or should I say my emotions and my reply to her was this. “I want everyone to be able to experience the way it feels to move in your body, get to know it again and find a peaceful, quiet place to go (inside yourself) if you need it.”  Not everyone can get up and down off the floor and flow into some of the “traditional” yoga postures. And frankly, I love “introducing folks to yoga!”  So here is a list of 5 ways (in my opinion) you can benefit from Chair Yoga.


5 Benefits
  1. Move your body again in a supported manner. (chair)
  2. Learn to use breathing techniques to support relaxation.
  3. Increase your strength for everyday tasks.
  4. Increased flexibility to continue to do the things you love.


Anyone can enjoy yoga and all it’s special benefits!  


I hope to see you on the mat or in the chair.

Chair Class is held on Tuesdays at The Longboat Key Recreation Center/$15 or $10 for members.
