Wellbeing Series — Intro to Chair Yoga

Wellbeing Series — Intro to Chair Yoga

The session will begin with a community check in, where the facilitator will inquire about folks' physical and mental needs of the day and adjust the sequence accordingly. Incorporating the chair allows participants to embrace another level of accessibility in the practice, as it eliminates any need to get close to the ground and allows us to realize we are capable of incorporating short, regulating practices from a seated posture that we access in our day to day lives. All you will need is a chair, or elevated and stable seat, where knees can be bent with feet close to the ground. Facilitation is trauma informed and catered towards all levels of experience with yoga.
