About this event
Seated Chair Yoga with Dr. Katherine Guevara USC Yoga and the Healing Sciences Certified Instructor Saturdays at 11:30 a.m. starting July 20th Welcome to chair yoga! It's real yoga - just done while seated in a chair. There are many reasons your body is ready for chair yoga - perhaps it does not enjoy getting down to or up from the floor, or does not like putting pressure on the knees or wrists as required by yoga on the floor, or it sits all the time at work and needs some new ideas for breaking up all that sitting. Chair yoga is for you! Who- Accessible for all ages and abilities. Everyone can benefit from chair yoga with no experience necessary. What- Your trained instructor guides you through movements done while seated in a comfortable folding chair that will be provided for you, already set up in the room when you arrive. If you need to use your own chair, such as a wheelchair or scooter, just advise your instructor in advance so she can configure the room seating. When- Saturdays at 11:30am starting July, 20 through September 7. We will start promptly at 11:30. If running late to class, we ask you to please wait to enter until the class has finished their opening guided meditation portion (approximately the first 5 minutes) so you don't interrupt that important step for us. Class typically ends at 12:20 with the remaining 10 minutes of the hour then allowed for questions and group communication. Where- Lake Forest II downstairs rec room (ramp access available - no stairs required) Why- Build strength; Promote better posture; Boost circulation; Increase mental clarity; Reduce stress and more! How- Follow the instructor to match suggested movements to your breath (inhaling and exhaling). The instructor will offer many alternative movements from which to choose and that may be best for your body that day. Wear comfortable clothes that allow you to move your arms and legs. You can keep socks and shoes on. Please silence all devices.
