What IS Chair Yoga?
Chair Yoga is a modified form of traditional yoga using a chair as a prop. Typically chair yoga is thought of as a class only for the elderly but this just isn't true. While chair yoga is GREAT for elderly because it allows you the ease of sitting in a chair instead of getting up and down off the floor which some seniors have difficulty with, it is also great for ANYONE! Who says we just SIT in the chair? For workplace yoga, a form of chair yoga, we also STAND by the chair.
What is wonderful about chair yoga is that it can be made a the gentlest of classes for those in pain, disabilities, special needs or in wheelchairs OR it can also be used as a fitness class to focus on deep stretches and strength. It is much more versatile than given credit for.

Testimonial
The Chair Yoga training taught me so much about ways to improve my body while sitting in a chair or using it for balance. I am excited to try these poses to help relieve some issues while working at a desk all day. Lori and the ECY yoga trainers are excellent and are very warm and welcoming. I have always felt very comfortable coming to ECY studio, and it has been a wonderful place to learn new ways to improve yourself and meet new friends along the way. This is a great place that fosters a sense of community for everyone. Thank you, Lori, for becoming my friend and introducing me to new things and always seeing the best in people.
