Senior Group Fitness Class Happening Every First Wednesday During Titusville Community Branch Senior Resource Day
Chair yoga is a great way for older adults to get the wonderful health benefits of yoga. It also makes yoga accessible to more people. Staying seated while doing yoga means that even frail seniors or those who are not flexible can safely do the exercises.
The benefits of chair yoga older adults includes loosening and stretching painful muscles, reducing chronic pain, decreasing stress, and improving circulation. It also reduces anxiety, helps lower blood pressure, projects joints, and builds strength and balance.
Instructor Russell Lee makes the class fun and lively and explains the benefits of chair yoga movements.
There are limited spaces, please call the library at 205-322-1140 for registration.
