Pilates in a chair is more fun and more challenging than you think! Using a sturdy, armless chair as a supportive prop in pilates yields new and creative options for many of the most classic pilates exercises for stretching and strengthening! This class incorporates light dumbbells and resistance bands to help build strength, joint stabilization, and bone density. However, the exercises can also be done without weights or bands and you will still receive plenty of strengthening and toning benefits.
Sunday, April 24th 2pm – 3:15 on Zoom ~ Free / Donations Welcome
Yoga Nidra is a 40-minute guided lying-down meditation practice that induces deep relaxation and peaceful states of awareness. Practiced regularly, Yoga Nidra helps to heal the nervous system, reduces anxiety, improves sleep, and promotes a sense of inner balance, clarity, joy, and compassion. This session will begin with very gentle tension-relieving stretches which can be done seated in a chair or on a mat; the lying-down portion of the practice can be done lying on the floor or in your bed with or without the support of blankets and pillows. This practice is beginner-friendly and it is suitable for all bodies and ages. Everyone is welcome to participate and this session is offered free with the option to make a donation.
