Testimonials
Here’s What Our Students Say
My daughter got me into this. At first I thought, ‘Chair yoga? Really?’ But wow, my back hasn’t felt this good in years. I can see small victories in everyday movement. I would recommend this to anyone who is wanting to make a change.
The flexibility to choose sessions gives me so much independence to plan my practice, and the teacher’s detailed guidance allows me to connect with my body.
Every session feels like it was made with care. Even the short ones help my joints loosen up. And it’s nice to feel that my body is still capable of change, even now.
