60-min CHAIR YOGA

Show up as you are! This accessible flow incorporates a chair for stability and support, allowing you to explore yoga postures your own way. While some movements are seated, we also incorporate standing poses with the chair as a helpful anchor.

Suitable for all fitness levels, this class fosters balance, encourages mindful breathing, and

promotes a sense of well-being in a supportive environment.

Q: What kind of chair should I use?

A: Use a chair with no wheels and no arms, if possible.

For private yoga sessions, please provide your own chairs. I will have one for the teacher/guide chair.

Ideas for additional support:

1. Set up your space near a wall. Place your hand on the wall for additional support during standing postures.
2. For standing postures, use the chair for balance as needed (this is why we recommend no wheels on your chair).
3. Make the practice your own! If you're staying seated for the entire class, that's fine! If the class stands and you want to stay seated, follow the arm and leg movements from your seated position. The most important thing is that you're moving your body and meeting yourself where you are today. :)

5. You’ll be admitted from the “waiting room” at the time of class.

6. I recommend your video be on for biomechanics & form feedback, but that's up to you! I would love to see your progress, but if you feel like are more mindful & present with your camera off, that's completely fine. All participants in Group classes will be muted when class begins.

REPLAYS (group classes): If you miss a live group class, don't worry! You'll receive the replay link once the class is uploaded, so you can do it at any time that works for you.

TEACHER CANCELLATIONS (group classes): Class registrants will get an email if the teacher cancels for any reason. Canceling is rare, but sometimes life happens! Rest assured, your drop-in class fee will be refunded if this happens.

STUDENT CANCELLATIONS (group classes): Cancel your registration for a full refund up to 12 hours before your class. Since replay links go out for each class, refunds are not available after the 12-hour timeframe.

Caroline Berkey (RYT-200) has practiced yoga for over 10 years, and began teaching in 2022. She has always valued the importance of chair yoga classes to keep yoga accessible to everyone, and was certified to teach by the Heartwood Yoga Institute in early 2024. Fun fact: the first time she taught chair yoga was in the chair pictured above. She was teaching her dad as he recovered from quintuple bypass open heart surgery. Bonus points if you do some chair yoga outside in the fresh air with your feet in the grass!
