Chair Yoga Resumes on Thursday, September 10th
Our chair yoga class resumes on Thursday, September 10th at 10:00am.
One of the gentlest forms of yoga, this class modifies yoga poses so they can be done while seated in a chair. In addition to a good stretch, participants can also enjoy improved muscle tone, better breathing habits, reduction of stress, better sleep, and a sense of well being.
Chair Yoga brings individuals from the distractions of the outside world to the quiet that resides within while strengthening the body.
Join us for Chair Yoga every Thursday at 10:00am in the Social Hall starting Thursday, September 10th. All are welcome! The cost is $5.
