CHAIR YOGA: SPRING/SUMMER MONTHLY SESSIONS
Instructor: Susan Duesbery, DCM adjunct and adjunct instructor at Western Michigan University
Are you interested in yoga, but would like a gentle class to begin? Then Chair Yoga is for you. In this safe and supportive class you will gently move your body using a chair to help you cultivate flexibility, strength and balance. The chair will serve to assist you in exploring seated movements, standing/balancing poses, and as a tool to help you get up and down from the floor (should you need assistance). Deep breathing and rest will be woven throughout. You will leave feeling refreshed and energized, yet calm and relaxed. No need to be self-conscious. This is a for people who would like to know more about yoga and are reluctant to go to a general class.
Find out if chair yoga is for you. Come to one or all sessions. Cost is $10.00 per session if you register in advance online or by phone 616.514.3325.
