CHAIR Yoga for Everybody - 'Chair-ish' your chairs...
This is for you...
* if you are new to Yoga, then this is a great and gentle way to start, or
* you want to utilize some of the time you spend on chairs each day to do something good for yourself at the same time and learn the moves how to weave in some fitness while on your chair anyway, or
* you might feel limited in your mobility for some reason and wish to explore a gentle way to invite some expansion to your range of movement
Whatever the reasons may be, learning to 'chair-ish' the time we spend on our chairs is extremely beneficial for our well-being and well-feeling.
(This class continues during school holidays)
There is so much more we can utilize our chairs for than just sitting on them!
The next HOLIDAYS are from 3 to 17 October !
