Bucks County Area Agency on Aging is offering Virtual Chair Yoga for older adults on Tuesdays, from 10 to 11 a.m. The free class is taught via Zoom by a certified yoga instructor. Internet and webcam will be necessary for the students and instructors to see each other.
Chair yoga is practiced sitting on a chair or standing using a chair for support. Yoga is a total mind-body workout combining stretching, deep breathing, and movements to create ease in the body and calmness in the nervous system.
The class will allow older adults to reduce social isolation; reduce anxiety and depression through meditation; improve balance, flexibility, strength, posture and range of motion, all of which help to reduce the risk of falls; increase blood-flow; lower blood pressure; and decrease pain.
Space is limited. Call the agency to register at 267-880-5700 or email [email protected].
