Chair Yoga in Lincoln
Supportive, Safe & Beginner Friendly
If you’d love to feel more mobile, steady, and relaxed, but getting up and down to the floor feels daunting, Chair Yoga is for you.
This is a gentle, assisted yoga class where we use a sturdy chair (and optional props) to help you move with confidence. You’ll practice seated yoga and simple standing options, with plenty of support. It’s ideal if you’re new to yoga, returning after time off, managing mobility concerns, living with arthritis, or simply want a calmer, safer way to stretch and strengthen.
