ZOOM: Chair Yoga for Strength and Flexibility - Your Back

**This class will take place on Zoom**
**This course is open to members and non-members**

This 7-week yoga series will focus on realigning your body’s optimum posture using a stable chair to strengthen your back.

Through the Iyengar Yoga method, the postures involve lengthening and contracting of muscles that will strengthen the body, create more mobility and flexibility of the joints and support a healthy back. In addition to the chair, please have these yoga props available: 1 strap, 2 blocks and a blanket. (In lieu of a metal yoga chair, a sturdy dining/desk chair with no wheels will suffice; a belt/scarf for a yoga strap, thick books or empty boxes instead of blocks and a small bedroom blanket/throw. It will also be helpful to set up your Zoom space with the chair in front of a blank wall or tall, bar-height table.) All/no experience welcome.
