NEW CHAIR YOGA CLASS & ANOTHER GENTLE YOGA CLASS
Lindsay Williams offers a chair yoga class on Thursdays from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. This class is a beginner-friendly, all-levels yoga practice. We will slowly explore movement, breath and meditation in a supportive community with no expectations, using the support of sturdy chairs. Chair yoga is a wonderful way to move your body without getting up and down off the floor as often, and chairs empower us to practice balance with support.
Lindsay will also be offering a hybrid yoga class on Mondays from 9:15 to 10:45 a.m. For more information, please email Lindsay at lotuslindsay@gmail.com.
