  3. Neuro Chair Yoga

    • Chair yoga is practiced either sitting or using chairs for support in various postures and is designed to mindfully increase range of motion while meeting students where they are making yoga accessible to people recovering from an injury, mobility limitations, or balance concerns.  A series of options are given for each posture to allow students to find the optimal balance between support and challenge to meet them where they are, at the moment. Poses may also be done while standing, utilizing the chair for stability and balance.
