Chair Yoga Challenge for Seniors

Yes. This program is specifically designed to be gentle on the joints. The slow, controlled movements can help to lubricate joints and ease the stiffness associated with arthritis.

That's perfectly fine. Many of the exercises can be done while seated in a sturdy chair. Our instructors provide chair modifications throughout the program.

Yoga improves balance by strengthening the small stabilizing muscles in your feet and ankles, engaging your core, and increasing your overall body awareness (proprioception).

Not at all. This challenge is created for absolute beginners. The pace is slow, and the instructions are very clear, making it the perfect introduction to yoga.

The sessions are short and manageable, typically 15-20 minutes long, so you can get the benefits without feeling exhausted.

You can expect to see improvements in your balance, flexibility, and overall strength. Many members also report feeling less stiff, having more energy, and feeling more confident in their daily movements.

A stable chair and a yoga mat are helpful. No other special equipment is needed. We recommend practicing near a wall for extra support if you feel unsteady.
