Class Descriptions

The Yoga Moves MS schedule has many different types of adaptive yoga, breathing, and meditation opportunities. You are encouraged to mix it up! Try a little of this (postures, dance, meditation) and a lot of that (breathing). Remember, safety is your TOP priority.

Classes may focus On Your Seat, On Your Feet, and On The Earth or yoga mat. Yoga Moves MS presents different options for Any and Every Body. You can make the class your own by choosing to do each pose On Your Seat, On Your Feet, and On The Earth. If you have not experienced chair yoga and are new to the practice, it is highly recommended that you attend the Live Foundations of Chair Yoga before taking other Adaptive Yoga Moves Any Body classes. Make sure you are on our student mail list to be notified of Live Foundations of Chair Yoga classes, special “pop up” classes and workshops.

The Class descriptions below suggest props such as blankets, straps, and blocks that you may place nearby. Most yoga moves require one chair and sometimes two. It is very helpful to have two chairs, especially when adapting poses that are traditionally on the earth. Yoga with two chairs is just like sitting on the floor without having to get up and down off the floor.

New Yogis/Foundations of Chair Yoga for Any Body

This is a “pop up” class designed for new yogis and those who want to learn more about breathing, basic yoga poses and alignment. If you’ve been hesitant to try a yoga class, this class is for you! We will introduce you to the foundations of Chair Yoga with demonstration and practice of basic yoga poses. Interaction is highly encouraged and time is allotted for conversation and questions. Let’s learn together how to breathe and move for improved strength and flexibility. Calm your nervous system and build your confidence. Props: Chair. Blankets, straps, or blocks are optional. You can watch the videos for similar type of information and a short practice in the welcome email that you received after completion of the waiver. Several samples of these classes are On Demand.
