Chair Yoga

Chair yoga uses a sturdy chair for seated poses and standing balance work. It can be a practical option if getting down to or up from the floor is uncomfortable. Classes may include gentle stretches, controlled movement, and breathing practice. Share any mobility concerns before class so the instructor can help you adapt poses to your needs.

Gentle Hatha Yoga

Gentle Hatha yoga emphasizes familiar poses, deliberate transitions, and time to notice how each movement feels. Props or a chair can support balance and range of motion. The pace allows room to adjust poses rather than push through discomfort. Tell the instructor about relevant limitations, and follow guidance from your health professional when deciding whether yoga is appropriate for you.

Balance and Mobility

These sessions focus on weight shifts, supported standing poses, and comfortable joint movement. A wall or chair can provide stability while you practice changing position and moving with control. The instructor can offer variations based on your current abilities. Yoga is not a substitute for medical care or physical therapy, so consult your clinician about exercises that suit your health.

Private Yoga Sessions

Private sessions give you time to discuss your experience, movement goals, and any modifications you need. The instructor can guide you through poses at an individual pace and demonstrate options for using a chair or other support. Before booking, ask about session format and share relevant health considerations. Your clinician can advise whether specific movements are suitable for you.

Small Group Classes

Small group classes combine shared instruction with options for different mobility levels. You can practice foundational yoga poses, supported balance work, and breathing at a measured pace. Let the instructor know what support you use and which movements feel difficult. Class size and modifications can vary, so ask about the format before attending your first session.

Breathing and Relaxation

Breathing and relaxation practice offers a quieter way to participate in yoga. Sessions may include guided attention to the breath, comfortable seated posture, and periods of rest. You can ask for a chair or other support and adjust your position as needed. If breath-focused practice causes discomfort, stop and tell the instructor; consult a health professional about any concerns.
