Yoga Within is pleased to offer Chair Yoga in Satellite Beach taught by Pyper Mitchell, owner and Certified Yoga Instructor. While rooted in traditional yoga practice, Chair Yoga is simply yoga done with the aid of a chair, eliminating the need to get down on the floor. “Chair Yoga is for everyone regardless of age or fitness abilities,” says Mitchell. “If you have limitations, poses can be modified to align with your restrictions.” 

Yoga poses are performed both sitting and standing. While every class is unique, there are foundation poses and activities which promote strength, balance, and flexibility. To keep things interesting and challenging, the class incorporates a variety of props (blocks and bands). Every class ends with guided relaxation focusing on breathing techniques which help reduce stress and improve mental clarity.

“Our environment is fun-filled and social,” says Mitchell. “We encourage communication throughout each session. Whether it's a question or humorous comment, it's all welcome and contributes the cohesion of the group.”

Chair Yoga - Fitness & Balance is offered on Tuesdays at 3 p.m. at the Satellite Beach Library and Chair Yoga - Fitness & Balance at the Schechter Center on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 10:30 a.m. All classes are $5 per session. For more information, visit YogaWithinFL.com or call 321-446-9690.
