A Special Session Introducing Chair Yoga

December 22, 2023
8:00 AM - 8:45 AM
Event time is displayed in your time zone.

Please RSVP here for the Zoom link. 

The first half of this class will take place seated in the chair. We’ll explore movements that lengthen and strengthen and experience how they can support good posture and easeful breath flow. This portion will be particularly helpful for newer folks and/or those working with mobility differences. Even if you have a more established mat practice, the tools offered for those stuck-at-the-desk moments will be beneficial! The second half of the class will continue to have chair-friendly options but will expand a bit how the chair can be used for sitting, standing/balancing, and more familiar poses. This practice will meet you exactly where you are and have options for all.

Magi Pierce has been teaching yoga and meditation for over a decade.  Inspired by her longtime study of asana (posture), meditation, philosophy, and anatomy, she is fascinated by the intersection and overlap of the physical, mental, and breath bodies.  She continually aspires to teach an inquiry of subtle alignment in a lighthearted way that is both accessible and relevant.  For more on Magi, her website is magipierce.com.
