Chair Yoga
Gentle, Accessible Yoga for Active Ageing
Chair Yoga is a very gentle, accessible form of exercise done mainly seated in a chair, with some standing movements that use a chair for support.
These gentle movements help to reduce stiffness, improve strength and increase your comfortable range of motion to help with everyday movements.
It builds strength and confidence while improving functional fitness and flexibility.
Chair Yoga adapts traditional yoga for anyone who finds getting up and down from the floor tricky, wants gentle movement, or prefers the security of a chair.
Each class helps you feel stronger and confident in everyday life—without ever feeling rushed or out of place.
