Accessible Yoga

When: Every Tuesday, 5 pm–6 pm
Where: via Zoom, RSVP for access
Cost: Sliding-scale donation; free for members of Brooklyn Ethical
More info: Accessible Yoga with Chair at leabenderyoga.com

A class designed for seniors and those with limited mobility, but anyone will benefit from this hour. No prior experience is needed. All ages and abilities are welcome.

You won’t need a mat, only a sturdy chair. You will learn simple but effective meditation and breathing techniques that you can do at home to reduce anxiety and breathe more freely. You will also be guided through gentle movements to release tension in the muscles supporting the spine and shoulders, as well as some balance and strengthening exercises using the support of the chair for safety and stability.

You will leave breathing easier and feeling calmer and more at home in your body. Yoga can help to reduce depression, improve sleep, and increase oxygenation and circulation in the body.

Everything in this class is optional so you can do as little or as much as you like. A class recording will be sent to all registered students and will be available for 5 days, so you can take the class at your convenience.

RSVP today and join us every Tuesday evening for accessible yoga!
