Chair Yoga for Seniors

This is a 15 minute chair yoga for seniors class. We'll be moving through some gentle poses, working from our feet all the way up the body to the head. The poses and movements we will take will help increase fluid to the joints, which can help improve mobility.

This short class I initially created for my 86 year old Nan, who was complaining of not being able to move as much as she used to. I thought I would also share it here, in case others wanted to share it with their loved ones.

Who this class is for?
Seniors or anyone with limited mobility.

And anyone that wanted a short, gentle full body practice.

Please remember to only work within your range of motion. Listen to your body and if you feel pain, please stop.

What do you need?
- A chair
- Maybe a couple of blocks or pillows, just to ensure your feet are fully supported by the floor and you can maintain good posture.

When to practice?
This class is ideal for anytime of day :)

Evening Yoga for the Spine

During this evening yoga for the spine class we'll spend the whole practice on the floor, moving through the 6 movements of the spine (lateral, forwards, backwards and twisting).

This practice will help to stretch and release tension in the spine and back. It will also calm the nervous system, preparing the body for rest/ bed.

What do I need?
- Yoga mat (optional)
- Pillow or bolster (optional)
- Wall (optional)
- Yoga belt/ strap or rolled up towel (optional)

Who is this class for?

Beginners and students of all ages welcome!

The class is quite a gentle, passive practice, where we hold poses for about 5 breaths each.

When to practice?

In the evening as this class is a great way to gently stretch the back and prepare the body for bed.

That said, it won't hurt to practice the class at other times during the day.
