TRY A CLASS—contact Karen Hamrick if you want to try a class (at no charge) before signing up. 

This standing/chair yoga class allows you the choice of practicing entirely in your chair or practicing with optional floor poses and standing poses where the chair can be used for support, if desired. The class will provide you with opportunities to improve your strength, balance, flexibility, and mobility, as well as practice breathwork and short meditations. This class is perfect for those who have been cleared by medical professionals to exercise but want a gentler practice, have no yoga experience, or have practiced yoga but need poses adjusted to account for injuries and/or mobility challenges. This class is taught by Eileen Hemphill, RYT-200 (Registered Yoga Teacher, 200 training hours), who has extensive training and experience working with persons of varying ages, abilities, sizes and experience levels. The class schedule will be Wednesdays as follows:

Classes will start Wednesday, September 3, 10:30-11:25am (55 minutes). The cost is $50 for the 4 classes.
