September 11: Chair Yoga for All:with Karen from Mather Community Initiatives

Discover the benefits of yoga in a safe, supportive, and accessible way! Chair Yoga is a form of yoga that is practiced while sitting on a chair or standing and using a chair for support. This class is perfect for adults of all ages and fitness levels, especially those with limited mobility, balance challenges, or anyone looking for a low-impact practice. Our practice together will include mindful breathing, seated and standing poses, gentle stretches, and a guided relaxation to help improve flexibility, balance, strength, and mental clarity—all without having to get down on the floor.

Are you an Older Adult age 60+ who is looking to stretch, move, work on your core strength and balance, get stronger, and keep healthy and active? We'll have you saying "Aha!" aha! (active healthy aging) is a FREE monthly fitness and wellness program designed especially for you!

Will it be Yoga, Zumba, Pilates, Calisthenics, Seated Weight Training, Tai Chi? We'll have different sessions each month.
