Chair Yoga with Kate Alesio

Please join certified yoga instructor Kate Alesio for chair yoga, Thursdays from 11 am to 12 noon. In these classes, participants will learn and practice simple yoga exercises and breathing techniques in a way that is safe, easy and gentle for all bodies. Yoga is an ancient, time-tested system of mind/body/spirit healthcare.

Yoga exercises will be done sitting in chairs and/or using chairs for support while standing and balancing.

Regular yoga practice may help to offset pain, improve flexibility and increase overall strength.
