If getting up and down from the floor is a struggle, or if your hands and wrists can’t take the weight of your body like they used to, or if you have injuries, aches, or stiffness, that restrict your movement— we’ve designed this class for you!
- NO pretzel poses,
- NO need to figure out how to get down to, or up from, the floor,
- NO worries about trying to balance in a standing pose—if we stand we always use a chair or wall for support!
This style of yoga is not so much about exercise as it is about:
- Holding Supported Poses
We create and find stability for the body which helps us hold each pose for extended lengths of time without strain. This is why we use blocks, belts, blankets, chairs, and the wall! - Breath
With our bodies stable, we can spend time, luxurious minutes, turning inward to discover the subtleties of the breath/prana. Through Agnieszka’s expert guidance we explore how to open, balance, and expand the breath, which allows for a deeper sense of softness and spaciousness in our physical and subtle bodies. - Alignment
We are guided to make micro-adjustments to our body so we can release areas of tension. Muscular tension prevents us from aligning our physical body in a way that allows prana to flow freely. Releasing this inner gripping creates more space for the breath and prana to flow. This brings more vitality and clarity to the mind along with more energy and ease to the body.
We all carry neuromuscular patterns in our body that constrict the flow of breath and prana. The huge gift of this practice is how it works with body and breath, even when you’re seated, to open and soften your physical body so the prana can flow freely and efficiently.
It’s all so subtle, and yet our:
- Muscles get stronger.
- Bodies ache less.
- Posture improves.
- We feel a softness, clarity, and vitality, that’s new, fresh. and delightfully calm.
If this sounds wonderful to you, and you have the time, we’d love to have you join us. Class size is limited.
I come into class with my back hurting.
And I come out of the class without it hurting.
I’m good for the rest of the day—and sometimes several days.~Char S
What people are saying …
Well, I’m just not an exercise person. I can’t do the twisty pretzel things. But with the breathing and the stretching I felt so good all day… I think you just converted me into be a gentle yoga participant. ~Andrea W
I’ve got a lot of arthritis and I have to say that the hardest part of meditation for me is sitting. This class actually helps alleviate my arthritis tremendously.
~Maggie PIt often feels like an imposition to go, but I’m always glad I did. I feel better.
~Bill PI have been doing yoga for a long time but this was so specific on how I could do it, it really helped me stay focused and stay with it. I really appreciate Agnieszka.
~Mary BAs somebody who only lightly dabbles in yoga, Agnieszka’s chair yoga session was totally accessible to me. Her attention and care to not only make sure I was comfortable but that I was getting the desired effect was amazing. Highly recommended!
