TAI-CHI Basic & Intermediate: Instructor: Colin Young

Basic and Intermediate. Should you be concerned about your balance or have a fear of falling, Tai-Chi is the perfect program to help improve your balance and prevent such accidents. The gentle and graceful movements will increase your flexibility, help reduce pain and calm your spirit.

YOGA - HATHA: Instructor: Shizuyo Okada

Hatha Yoga (mixed-level): A well-rounded experience, consisting of yoga postures (asanas) with some modifications and options, fluid movements, breathing exercises, as well as guided relaxation to help physical and mental wellness. A yoga mat is required. Some yoga experience is helpful, but not necessary. If you've had serious injuries and/or surgeries, please let the instructor know beforehand.

YOGA (WITH CHAIR) : Instructor: Shizuyo Okada

Chair Yoga is a form of Hatha Yoga, in which the practitioners do postures while sitting on a chair. The chair is also used for support while doing standing postures. For this reason, people with limited mobility or people in a smaller office space can practice Chair Yoga with relative ease. It is especially fitting for those who have difficulties sitting or lying down on the floor. Even if you have no mobility issues, if you wish to focus on a light yoga session that increases body awareness and flexibility, this can be a good option. If you are attending in person, please note that you will need a yoga mat in the classroom to secure the chair, as the floor is too smooth otherwise. If you are attending online, please prepare a sturdy chair with no wheeled legs - if the chair doesn't slide on the floor, no yoga mat is required.
