Class Agenda
10:00 - 10:10
Introduction of Theme / Breathing Exercise
Class starts with a theme, quote, or yogic concept that aims to foster creative thought, self reflection, and expand your awareness. Class theme may also include a practiced pranayama (breath work).
10:10 - 10:50
Class Flow
Class flow follows the introduction of the class theme. Class flow usually works from the feet and move up to the head and starts with gentle stretching. Movements include single and combined side movements and postures to build strength, increase range of motion. Many of our poses aim to build mind body connection and work neuroplasticity.
10:50 - 11:00
Guided Meditation
The last 10 minutes of class is a guided meditation. You can take this meditation seated or laying down in savasana. Meditations vary week to week and usually work in conjunction with the class theme.
What makes our classes different?
Our Adaptive Chair Yoga Classes are tailored to the unique needs for seniors, stroke, and limited mobility.
Firstly, our class flows focus on moving each side of the body in isolated movements followed by combined sides to help build neuroplasticity (the brains ability to rewire and rebuild neural pathways). All postures and movements are completed in a seated position that emphasizes proper posture and encourages strength for balance. This means that no matter your physical abilities, you can engage in the physical practice of yoga and improve your strength, mobility, and range of motion.
Secondly, with a repeated instructions, clear and concise class cues, and a slow class flow, our adaptive yoga is easy to follow along and stayed engaged with for the full 60 minutes.
Lastly, we emphasize breath-work and mind-body connection to help you feel calmer, more relaxed, and present in the current moment.
Don't let your stroke or limited mobility hold you back from engaging in the physical and mental benefits that yoga has to offer!
