What are the benefits of Chair Yoga?

 

Increased Flexibility – The ability to bend, twist and stretch is important for so many of our daily activities, and the gentle exercises of Chair Yoga will help to increase your flexibility and mobility.

 

Improved Strength – Chair Yoga is a fantastic way to build muscle strength throughout your body, and with this improved strength comes a better overall sense of balance. A better sense of balance means a more confident you!

 

Stress Reduction – The art of mindfulness is a powerful element of Chair Yoga. By focusing on the movement of your body and becoming more aware of your breathing, a calm, meditative state is achieved that promotes a relaxed state free of stress and worry. You will leave the class with a new sense of mental clarity and a wonderful boost to your mood :)

 

Pain Reduction – Chair Yoga has proven to help relieve the pain associated with conditions such as arthritis, back aches and muscle stiffness. Many participants have found that regular Chair Yoga classes have actually helped eliminate long term physical discomfort, bringing a great new sense of health and happiness to their lives!

 

Promotes Better Sleep – Because Chair Yoga classes combine functional exercise with a calm state of well being, sleep quality is vastly improved thanks to the body having expended energy and the mind reaching a better level of clarity.

 

Laughter With Friends - Most important of all, Chair Yoga classes are all about fun! There’s never a shortage of laughter and, with new people starting all the time, it’s a great way to meet people in the local community :)
