Chair Yoga - Summer pop-ups and free taster sessions

Fancy having a stretch? Just want to try out Chair Yoga with no commitment? Come to one of our 4 summer classes and give it a go!

These pop-up classes are for existing class members and for new people who want to try it out.   

Our Chair Yoga classes help you improve or maintain your flexibility, balance and strength.  For part of the class you will be seated and you will also spend some time on standing and balance exercises, using the chair as a prop and support.  The only things we don't do are kneeling and getting up and down off the floor!! To finish, you will do some relaxing breathing before re-starting the rest of the day refreshed and energised.  You don’t need special clothing or shoes - just wear something loose and comfortable around the waist and be prepared to take your shoes off!  For those of you who are just coming for a taster, I can provide a mat. 

Janis is a qualified Yoga teacher and has taught for 20+ years.  She now prefers to focus on supporting anyone, of any age and fitness level, who would like some gentle yoga exercises and stretches designed to improve flexibility, balance and strength.  

Chair Yoga 1 will run from 1.30pm to 2.45pm on both Tuesday 18th August and Tuesday 25th August.  Chair Yoga 2 will run from 3.00pm to 4.15pm on both Tuesday 18th August and Tuesday 25th August.  All classes are at Fernhurst Village Hall and, for existing students, will cost £10.50 on the day.  

If you'd like to come along for a taster, please contact Janis at wellness@fernhursthub.org.uk so she knows how many to expect in each session.  Also to let her know of any physical challenges you may have. Or call the Fernhurst Hub on 01428 641931 and leave your name and contact number so she can call you.   

If you can't make any of these tasters, you can come along to the first class of the Autumn Term.  The half-term will run for 8 weeks - starting on Tuesday 15th September and finishing on Tuesday November 3rd at Fernhurst Village Hall at the same times. The cost will be £84.00.

Janis will also be running courses in Improving your Balance and Breathing for Relaxation in the Autumn - to find out about these, contact her at the email address below to express an interest.
