Chair yoga can also serve as a great introduction to yoga for beginners! While seated comfortably in a chair, students can experience twists, hip stretches, forward bends, and mild back-bends.
In addition to a good stretch, chair yoga participants can enjoy other health benefits from yoga, including improved muscle tone, better breathing habits, stress reduction, better sleep, and a sense of well being.

*Candlelight Yin will return in the fall!
Candlelight Yin is a slow-paced and deeply nourishing practice that increases flexibility, releases stress, and untangles the deep connective tissues in your body in a soothing manner.

You’ll be guided through poses and breathing techniques that provide a deep sense of peace and relaxation.
