One great thing about yoga is that it can be adapted to suit anyone’s needs. Chair yoga is especially beneficial for beginners, senior citizens, people with injuries, or those looking to learn how to apply yoga techniques at the office. As we practice chair yoga, our bodies relax and our minds quiet. During our time together, we will increase our self-awareness and revitalize our lives. Yoga has been proven to improve strength and flexibility as well as reduce stress and manage pain. The chair yoga postures taught in this class can be integrated throughout the day. Please note: Have a comfortable moveable chair and a belt or strap ready for each class.

Release stress and loosen tense muscles with a deeply relaxing yoga session. Restorative yoga focuses on resting in supported poses that help us listen to the subtle cues from our bodies. There are many benefits to restorative yoga, including a decrease in stress hormones, a strengthened immune system, and improved quality of sleep. This practice will help unwind tension in your body so you can approach life's challenges from a place of clarity and calmness. Please note: Have a yoga mat, belt, two blankets that can easily be folded, as well as a yoga block or pillow on hand for class. All levels welcome.

Explore ways to begin a visual journaling practice, a way to creatively express yourself through art rather than words. Together we will relax, release, and spontaneously create images with curiosity from guided prompts provided by the instructor. The images are personal and creative, offering us a way to release tension, gain insights, and make changes in our lives. These images can help us document our inner journey and give voice to our hidden dialogue. No artistic skill is necessary to enjoy this course. Please note: Bring paper, pencil and/or acrylic paints, watercolors, crayons, colored pencils, or any art materials you have at home.
