AARP Hearing Center
Gently increase your flexibility, mobility and strength! This class makes yoga accessible to people of varied abilities with its adaptive seated and standing poses.
About the Event
Designed for people of varied abilities, this virtual adaptive yoga class is unique in that it takes vinyasa-inspired sequences and adapts them to a hybrid seated and standing chair-assisted movement practice. Ground poses are offered for those who can get on the floor, with modifications and chair-based alternatives for those who cannot. We use hand weights in a few poses, and mindfulness, meditation and breathing (pranayama) are integral to the practice.
This workout can help you gradually become stronger and more flexible, balanced and mobile. Props you may want to have handy: a chair without arms, 4“ x 6“ x 9“-inch yoga blocks or a rolled towel or blanket, an 8’ or 10’ yoga strap with a D-buckle, a Theraband and hand weights. Please consult your physician before beginning any new exercise regimen.
Instructor Barbara Deurwaarder is a 500 RYT (Registered Yoga Teacher), meaning she has 500 hours of training as a teacher.
