Yoga with Christiana

Meet Christiana...

She is one of the newest members to our wellness team here at Garden Way! Christiana teaches a Chair Yoga class for us every Tuesday morning.

All of us, unless we remain highly active, become less flexible and limber with age. Chair yoga classes have been designed to allow seniors to remain upright, and in their comfort zone without needing to move down to the floor and back up, repeatedly. Traditional poses are modified so that they may be accomplished for the benefit of the practitioner, while remaining seated.Social interaction in yoga classes is as beneficial to mental health as the poses themselves are for physical health. Seniors participating in yoga classes report that they are happier, overall, and have a higher sense of well-being. They also have more self-confidence, as they regain strength and flexibility. Other physical health benefits include increased circulation, and better ability to sleep.

Here are just a few pictures of our ladies at Garden Way participating in Chair Yoga and having a wonderful time!
