Health Benefits from CHAIR YOGA.

Are you enjoying any health benefits from Chair Yoga?

“Yes, I already feel a bit more balanced and my breathing tends to be less shallow. I also feel my legs moving more easily.”
“Yes, I can now get up from a low seat without holding on for support.”
“I have more confidence climbing the 40 stairs to the door of my attic bedsitter. I guess I’ll be able to stay longer in my home!”

Moving Feet = Healthy Feet

Stomp, march, flex, point, make circles with each foot (slowly), curl your toes then spread them wide apart, pick up a sock off the floor, walk on your toes, walk on your heels, walk on the inside of your feet, walk on the outside of your feet, go heel-toe/heel-toe, etc., massage each toe, massage the souls of your feet, wear yoga toes, dance!

Yoga Must Be Doing Some Good – Read These Comments From Yogis & Yoginis

January 2015

 I was feeling lousy when I came in – but I am feeling much better now!

I find that yoga is a relaxing experience in both physical and mental dimensions.

I am told by my family that I am less ‘feeble’ since I took up yoga!!

 Yoga is a new experience and worth the effort.

Our yoga teacher inspires us….come and get fit!

Yoga makes me more flexible – which is a good thing.

I feel more flexible and not so stiff

I love yoga. I feel very relaxed after each class I come to.
