Join Tina at 11:00 am for a chair yoga class designed for people of all ages and stages.

Chair yoga is a gentle practice in which postures are performed while seated and/or with the aid of a chair. This is a great practice for those who find a typical yoga session too challenging but would still like to improve fitness, flexibility, balance and coordination.
