Chair yoga is an accessible and effective way for people of all ages and abilities to enjoy the benefits of yoga without needing to sit or lie on a traditional mat.

Wellness Tips

Today, let’s draw our focus to some basic habits with big payoffs!

Practice Mindful Hydration

Drink water mindfully both before and after yoga sessions. Staying hydrated is essential for maintaining flexibility, muscle function, and mental clarity. You can even make hydration a small ritual—taking a few conscious breaths with each sip—to further foster mindfulness and body awareness.

Build a Simple Morning Stretch Routine

Consider starting each day with a five-minute stretching routine, even before heading to the mat. Gentle stretches upon waking help loosen muscles, stimulate circulation, and set a positive tone for the day. Consistency, not intensity, delivers the most lasting wellness benefits!
