Chair Yoga
with Barbara (sub for Alka)

Using a stationary chair you move through yoga postures, breathing exercises and meditation to strengthen, increase flexibility and promote healing.

Chair yoga offers you the ability to improve your health through an amazing form of adaptive exercise. While supported by a chair you can receive yoga’s healing and restorative benefits that have been known for thousands of years. Yoga relaxes your body and mind, improves your musculoskeletal fitness and flexibility, and elevates your overall health and well-being.

Chair Yoga can benefit many people, those with disabilities, weight challenges, inflexibility, or who just cannot get on the floor for whatever reason. This type of exercise is great for those in a home or office, and even if you are in a wheelchair, you can receive the benefits.

“I never realized how much chair yoga could be useful in my life,  taking classes with Alka Kaminer has become important to me. Her classes have helped my arthritis by strengthening my muscle tone and increasing my flexibility. I look forward to every class with her.
