Strengthen both your body and mind with this gentle form of yoga. Chair yoga is practiced while sitting on a chair or using one for support and is designed specifically for those with physical disabilities or those who find a typical yoga session too challenging.

Chair Yoga is possible because of Howard Park’s partnership with The Salvation Army KROC Center and instructor Christina Riehm. A donation of $3-$5 is suggested for this class.
