Explore Yoga 1 (with Chair) with Larissa
About Explore Yoga 1 (with Chair)
You know that yoga has so much to offer but maybe you’re unsure where to start.
Maybe you feel nervous that yoga isn’t for you, anxious you’re not strong or flexible enough, or worried you’ll lose your balance.
If you’re looking for a yoga class to build strength and improve balance, Explore Yoga 1 could be a great fit.
This class includes movement in seated, standing, and reclined (down on the floor). We use a chair for more stability in seated and standing work.
This class if for anyone who enjoys a slower-paced class that explores foundational yoga poses. Using a chair in seated and standing can be a helpful option for those experiencing challenges related to balance, mobility, pain, arthritis, or personal preference. Open to folks of all ages.
“I am surprised by how adaptive chair yoga is and that it provides a better stretch and strength building opportunity than I thought it might. I feel I am able to achieve benefits that I don't in traditional standing poses as the chair eliminates concerns about balance, such as when doing warrior poses. I feel that I am building strength that will likely help to improve my balance.” - Linda
You don’t have to touch your toes or be at a certain fitness level to join us. Variations will be provided and you’ll be encouraged to listen to your body, take breaks, or opt out of movements as you like.
The intention of this class is for you to:
Strengthen your body, improve mobility in your joints, and challenge your balance in a beginner-friendly environment
Learn how to use yoga props (e.g., blocks, bolsters, blankets) to make the practice more accessible and more challenging
Feel confident in your understanding of common yoga asana and explore ways to practice yoga in a way that works for your body!
We welcome students of all ages (including older adults), students who are plus-size or in bigger bodies, LGBTQIA+ students, and people who don’t feel comfortable going to larger yoga studios.
