Chair Yoga sessions start back today!!
β¨ Accessible, supportive movement designed just for you β¨
At Maitland Chair Yoga, our focus is on helping you move more with ease and feel more confident in your body β not on achieving a βperfectβ yoga pose.
Using your chair for full support (not just as a prop), we guide you through movements that improve mobility, strength, and balance at your own pace.
Prefer to stay seated? Absolutely.
Feel like standing for part of the class? You can safely hold the back of your chair as we explore supported standing and balance work.
Every class offers options and variations, so you can choose what feels right for your body on any given day.
πΏ Term 2 sessions starts today β yes, even with the Monday public holiday! No term commitment required.
π $15 per class

Before I was excited for our performances but felt a bit stuck in the hard slog of rehearsals, refinement and preperation... now I'm basking in the glow of positive feedback and support and am enjoying reflecting on the projects AND I feel inspired to start the whole process again.
THANKYOU to everyone who was a part of it!
Inspiration is always the exciting part of the creative process but without the hours of learning, practice and refinement it comes to nothing.... I remind myself to try to enjoy all the ups and downs of the process...
