This term runs for 6 weeks from Thurs 9th Jan ~ Thurs 13th Feb. During this time we'll explore a set theme and each class will build on the last. Attendance at all sessions is not mandatory although encouraged and there will be no 'rolling over' of credit for any sessions missed etc. Having a term framework enables us to delve deeper into different aspects of our practice, fosters a sense of community and also offers you the structure to keep your practice consistent. What's chair based yoga? As the name suggests, chair yoga is yoga done seated in a chair! Occasionally we can also use the chair as a prop if you're comfortable to stand (other options will be offered if not). Who practices chair yoga? Those who might struggle with a mat based practice because of mobility issues can benefit greatly from chair yoga. You may also simply prefer a seated instead of mat based practice or the focus on different elements of your practice (like the breath, meditation, mudra etc) as opposed to just movement that chair yoga can offer. Do I need to be flexible/have experience? Absolutely not! Everybody is welcome and there will be modifications and adaptations offered to all. Who is this not suitable for? Those under 16 and pregnant folk. Please fill out the following health questionnaire prior to your first class so I can best guide you: https://forms.gle/vJfyJtzGgAtoMaM49
