OAKS Community Hosts Chair Yoga
Public welcome for free chair yoga class.
The OAKS community is welcoming the public to attend this free introductory class to Chair Yoga. The event will be held at Balance Bethlehem on Wednesday, March 28th from 1:00 – 2:00 pm. The yoga instructor for this class will be Audrey Crowe. Audrey has been practicing yoga for many years and also runs a very successful landscaping business in this area. Audrey explains that “You can improve your flexibility at any age.
People who start doing yoga in their 60s, 70s, 80s or even 90s say they regain flexibility in their joints and muscles. Some people assume loss of flexibility is inevitable with aging. Flexibility actually works on the ‘use or lose it’ model.” Therefore, those who continue practicing yoga over the long-term even report that they regain lost mobility. In addition, many chair yoga participants have said that after one to three months of regular weekly classes, they sleep better at night.
This event hosted by OAKS will be free to all participants and offers a perfect opportunity to try chair yoga. Also, Audrey recommends wearing comfortable clothes and to arrive early to allow time to be seated. Balance Bethlehem is on the Main Street in downtown Bethlehem. Please call Balance Bethlehem at 603-869-2125 to pre-register.
