Oakley Chair-Based Yoga

Class Description

A very warm welcome awaits you at my chair-based yoga classes. Chair based yoga is a little different to regular yoga and usually focuses on maintaining or improving functional mobility using the chair for stability and support. However, chair yoga is still yoga, simply adapted to meet the needs and abilities of students by using the chair. Chair based yoga is for everyone, regardless of age, size or ability. However, because of its gentleness and accessibility, it mostly attracts people who are older, less able or chronically ill. Like all forms of yoga, chair based yoga is very beneficial for those who practice it because it can improve mobility, flexibility and strength. More importantly, it also offers the opportunity to build connections, be part of a community, socialise and make friends - all of which are great for our wellbeing. My chair-based yoga classes will include: - Setting up and ensuring we are all ready and feeling comfortable. - Centring - becoming present and calm before we move. - Mobilisation - to increase circulation and prepare muscles for bigger movement or more complex poses (asana). - Warm-up - in the form of seated sun salutations. - Targeted poses (asana) - to build on previous classes. - Breathing practice (pranayama). - Focus practices. - Relaxation (savasana). What are the possible benefits of chair based yoga? - Improved strength - Reduced stress and promotion of relaxation - Helps to manage and reduce pain - Increased flexibility - Better sleep - Increased body awareness - Enables you to make connections and meet new people from all walks of life.
