Employee Fitness Class: Chair Yoga
Athletics Center Fitness Studio
Join health coach Lindsay Bloom for a new fitness class being offered in February—chair yoga.
Chair yoga is basically traditional yoga using the support of a chair. Chair yoga is helpful for people who sit for long periods of time or who struggle with stiffness, tense muscles, musculoskeletal pain, balance, or movement challenges.
This low-impact exercise accommodates all body types, ability levels, ages, and more.
No registration required; just meet at the Fitness Studio.
