GENTLE CHAIR YOGA

Using yoga to bring awareness to the body and breath is one way that we can soothe a stressed mind and nervous system, and bring more calm into our lives.

This series, a collaboration from AARP Maine and Sea Change Yoga, will consist of 60 minute yoga classes led by Anne Esguerra of Sea Change Yoga. We will use gentle movement and guided breath to help reduce anxiety, promote respiratory health, and find our way back to ourselves. This class will be accessible to all bodies and abilities. Anne will lead the class from a chair and provide modifications for those who choose to practice on a mat. First-time or beginner yogis are welcome!

WHEN: Fridays 8:30 AM - 9:30 AM

TO REGISTER: Please register on AARP’s website.

Can’t join us Friday mornings? We’ll post the class recording each month right here.
