Chair Yoga is a wonderful risk-free mindful movement practice that helps to relieve stress and calm the mind.
Blaithin, Your Wellbeing Warrior and Charity founder, is hosting this free Chair yoga session each Friday at 11.30 am. This practice is suitable for all ages and abilities, whether stuck at home or in need of a mindful break at work. All you need is a chair (preferably no side arms) and space, arm length, either side of you.
When we bring our bodies into a state of calm it acts as a tonic for our immune system. Yoga and mindful practices have long been known to help build physical and emotional resilience, we encourage you to take as many opportunities as you can to soothe the body and mind and in this way boost your immunity.
Each week we’ll meet on-line and take 50mins to connect to our bodies and breath calm into the spaces of hidden tension. You will finish feeling relaxed yet energised as these practices serve to refuel you. You will also have new tools for releasing stress that you can practice in your own time.
