Chair Yoga
Chair yoga brings important aspects of yoga to those who are not comfortable coming to and from the floor. Those that have a need or interest in increasing movement by accessing a variety of positions from a chair will find this class stimulating and productive. In the class we will modify poses in such a way that forward bending, back bending, twisting, hip and leg movements all become more accessible. We will work on all major joints of the body as well as develop some basic breath and meditation techniques. Each class will start and end with a brief meditation practice. The class will be varied, educational and supportive in increasing comfort, strength and flexibility. It is appropriate for those that are not comfortable with a traditional yoga class, yet want to reap some of yoga’s benefits. This class is primarily for levels 1 and 2.
Level 1-3

Instructor: Christine Bickson
After an interesting and diverse career path, Christine returned to a long-held interest in yoga, completing her 500hr teacher training in 2015. Since 2014, she has taught a range of yoga classes, always with a focus on safety and caring. For Christine, yoga has felt like coming home - connecting body and mind in a beautiful and powerful way. Christine enjoys building physical strength and flexibility and more importantly encouraging others to do the same. She delights in expanding all our sense of inner beauty and clarity of spirit. In this chair yoga class, we will work to reclaim lost or reduced movement, reinvigorate ourselves and inspire ourselves to begin the process of regaining balance, strength, and flexibility.
