Chair Fitness | 55+
Chair Fitness classes are performed while sitting in the chair or using the chair as an adaptive device. Designed to improve muscle tone, flexibility and endurance. Chair Fitness is ideal for those with arthritis, os- teoporosis or those starting an exercise pro- gram. This class is so much more than having a chair available if you need to improve your balance or for some exercises. This class requires hand weights to help you become stronger and healthier. Please note: Partici- pants are asked to bring 2lb or 3lb weights, an exercise belt/band and a yoga mat for this program.

Chair Yoga 55+
Chair yoga is a great way for older adults to get the wonderful health benefits of yoga. It also makes yoga accessible to more people. Staying seated while doing yoga means that even frail seniors or those who aren’t flexible can safely do the exercises. The benefits of chair yoga for older adults include loosening and stretching painful muscles, reducing chronic pain, decreasing stress, and improving circulation. It also reduces anxiety, helps lower blood pressure, protects joints, and builds strength and balance.
