May 6, 2026 (Chair)
Join us for a chair yoga practice that aligns with what we're covering this week in the 6-Week Blueprint: Joint Health & Mobility.
Seated in the chair, we'll go through the major joint systems: hands, shoulders, spine, hips, knees, and feet.
Optional standing poses with chair support start around the 25 minute mark. I started teaching a monthly chair yoga class in the Academy (usually on the 3rd Wednesday of this month).
Chair yoga is for every body. Give it a try and let us know what you think!

As we kick off Week One of the 6-Week Blueprint, this practice is designed to be an osteoporosis-friendly and strength--focused class.
We'll practice some new and challenging exercises including a dynamic, standing full-body warm up, reverse lunges (hello LEGS!), wall push-ups, slow leg swings (with focus on the glutes), and finish up with deep abdominal work (on the floor).
While this is a challenging class, most can be adapted for the chair (with the exception of the core moves at the end). Keep an eye out for similar workouts coming up in Week Two of the Blueprint.
Hope you enjoy and if you have any questions or suggestions, let me know. š

This was the first of our new adventure with chair yoga! I will now host this practice on the 3rd Wednesday of each month.
Today we explored some basic moves seated in the chair and standing. I have a deep love for chair yoga, it was there for me when I needed it the most.
Chair yoga is for all ages, as I mention in the video, just an hour before our practice together, I held space for a class whose ages ranged from 9 to 87 years young.
I truly hope you enjoy this practice as much as I do teaching it. ā¤ļø
