6 – 7 pm | September 9 - December 16
Location: Courtenay Recreation
Phone: 250-338-5371 *Registration through Courtenay Recreation.
Basics of yoga postures and breathing practices. It differs from a Gentle Yoga class in that it assumes that you have a fundamental level of fitness, as well as no pain in your body. This class will help you develop strength and balance as well as flexibility, while giving you tools for stress reduction.

7:15 – 8:45 pm | September 9 - December 16
Location: Courtenay Recreation
Phone: 250-338-5371 *Registration through Courtenay Recreation.
If you’ve been taking classes or practicing on your own, consider joining this class. You’ll need to be aware of your breath, and familiar with basic principles of alignment. You feel strong and balanced in standing poses, comfortable in Downward Dog, and you’re ready to take your practice to the next level.

Yes, we’re an enthusiastic bunch, passionate about our Yoga-class-in-a-chair. Are you feeling creaky and sore? Are you concerned about your balance? Yoga can help.
Just like a Yoga class that takes place on the floor, this class moves all your joints, promotes good balance, strengthens your muscles, and makes you more flexible. It may also help with the symptoms of many health issues such as hypertension, arthritis, and vertigo.
You’ll do some movements and poses in the chair, as well as while standing. You’ll practice unique breathing techniques and learn how to deeply relax. All you need are comfortable clothes that allow freedom of movement.
No previous Yoga experience necessary. Join us next Wednesday at noon!
