Chair Yoga

Yoga that meets you where you are.

You don't need to get down onto a yoga mat to experience the benefits of yoga.

Chair Yoga is a gentle, accessible approach to movement that uses a chair for support, allowing you to explore yoga in a way that feels comfortable and appropriate for your body.

It can be a wonderful way to maintain movement, strength, flexibility and confidence when getting down onto the floor is difficult or simply doesn't feel right for you.

Movement, without the pressure.

Your practice might focus on:

• Improving mobility and range of movement

• Building strength and stability

• Supporting balance and coordination

• Maintaining flexibility

• Developing greater body awareness

• Moving with more confidence

• Creating a regular movement practice

• Taking time to breathe, relax and unwind

The aim isn't to push your body into shapes it isn't ready for.

Instead, we work with your body as it is today, exploring what feels good and gradually building from there.

A practice adapted to you.

One-to-one Chair Yoga gives us the freedom to tailor every session to your individual needs and abilities.

We'll begin by talking about how you're currently moving, what you'd like to improve and anything that you find challenging.

From there, we'll build a practice using the chair for support. Depending on your needs, this may include seated movements, gentle strength work, standing poses, balance exercises, mobility, breathing and relaxation.

You don't need any previous yoga experience.

Who is Chair Yoga for?

Chair Yoga can be particularly helpful if you:

Find getting down onto the floor difficult
You can practise many yoga movements and techniques while remaining seated or using the chair for support.

Would like to improve your mobility
Gentle, consistent movement can help you stay connected to your body and maintain your range of movement.

Would like to feel stronger and more stable
Sessions can include simple strength and stability exercises adapted to your current ability.

Feel less confident with balance or movement
The chair provides a stable point of support, allowing you to explore movement with greater confidence.

Are returning to movement after time away
Private sessions give you the space to begin at your own pace, without having to keep up with a group.

Simply want a more accessible way to practise yoga
Yoga is not about how deeply you can move into a pose. It's about developing a relationship with your body through movement, breath and awareness.

You don't have to be flexible to practise yoga.

You don't have to be strong.

You don't have to be able to touch your toes or sit on the floor.

You simply have to be willing to begin where you are.

Your Private Chair Yoga Session

60 minutes

Your first session gives us time to understand your needs, your experience with movement and what you'd like to work towards. We'll then create a gentle practice that you can continue to develop through future sessions.

You can book a single session or arrange regular weekly or fortnightly sessions to make movement a consistent part of your routine.
