Chair Yoga Classes and Workshops - Great for the Office!

 

  • Why Do We Need It?

Due to the increasing number of jobs within modern industries, employees are more and more required to sit for prolonged periods of time. This usually continues at home when working at the computer, eating, or watching your favorite shows.

All this sitting has numerous negative effects on the body by slowing down the metabolism, thus causing low energy, weight gain, and circulatory problems. Bad posture causes muscle strain, tightness and a misalignment of the spine.

Chair Yoga is a great way to reverse the negative effects of sitting and to prevent further ones from occurring. It improves circulation, digestion, metabolism, concentration, stretches the muscles, opens the joints and creates a new sense of energy and calm.

 

  • Who Can Do Chair Yoga?

Anyone! Chair Yoga is perfect for all levels and all body types. It is especially beneficial for beginners or those with physical limitations as the chair supports the body in most of the poses.

In most classes you do not even need to change clothes or bring a mat.

Chair Yoga can be done at the office, at home, on a plane, in a car... anywhere you are required to be sitting!

 

  • What Can I Expect?

    • Classes and Workshops can range anywhere between 30 minutes to 2 hours in order to fit any scheduling need.

Diane's partner yoga workshop was pure fun. The poses were easily simplified or intensified and very playful. Not to mention the atmosphere was perfect - very relaxed and cheerful. I would most definitely recommend this to couples, friends, siblings - anyone! It is a great way to connect with another person on an entirely different level. Not to mention it was very calming and refreshing
