Chair Yoga & Gentle Movement for Older Adults
Community Room - Fireplace Side
Monday, May 22, 1:00pm to 1:45pm
Join Kim for a chair yoga and gentle movement class focusing on range of motion, breathing, and balance. Movements will be performed either sitting in a chair or standing.
Chair yoga is accessible to anyone of any age or ability. The practice begins with quiet stillness, focusing on breathing to increase respiratory function. Gentle movement while seated can increase range of motion and flexibility in all joints of the body and reduce arthritis pain. Standing postures are intended to strengthen muscles and bone, improve balance and decrease fear by gaining body awareness. In addition to the physical benefits, chair yoga can also calm the mind, reduce stress, and enhance compassion for ourselves and others, therefore enhancing quality of life!
Space is limited for this program; registration is required. To register please use the link below or call Lakeview Library at 608-246-4547. Registration opens May 8 at 10 AM, two weeks prior to program date.
Presented in partnership with NewBridge.
