Chair Yoga Weekly Classes
Chair Yoga is a fun and effective way of moving your body, developing strength and flexibility and staying physically and mentally supple. Each class involves some upper body movements in the chair and some lower body movements in the chair and, for those that can, standing practices using the chair for support, with options for seated or standing practices.
Tracy offers a regular weekly Chair Yoga class via Zoom suitable for everyone. These are on Tuesday mornings at 11.15am for a 45 minute practice together. The price per class is £6. There may be many reasons to join a chair yoga class rather than a mat based yoga class - perhaps the time suits you better, or you’re working from home and it fits in with your day or you find it challenging getting up from or down to the floor. You’ll get that same benefit to your body-breath-mind connection as you would in a mat-based yoga class.
The price stated is per household, so you and your partner/family member/carer can practice together. Current students have a range of conditions and some have no conditions - Diabetes, Heart conditions, Parkinson’s, MS and a broken ankle! Tracy loves bringing yoga to everyone through devising practices, sequences and postures suitable for chair yoga. She is proud to be an Accessible Yoga Ambassador, meaning that Tracy is committed to bringing yoga to everyone.
She also teaches 1-1 and has experience in teaching students with Motor Neurone Disease, after Stroke, after Heart Attack, dealing with Cancer and recovering from severe injuries.
Testimonial
As someone with progressive Multiple Sclerosis (MS), I thoroughly enjoyed reconnecting with Yoga via Tracy's 'Chair Fundamentals' course recently. I was delighted to experience the benefits of Yoga just as much (using a chair) as I used to, when I was more able. I am very excited to be able to join Tracy's new Zoom classes starting soon and would recommend it to anyone with mobility, balance or lower body strength challenges.

Chair Yoga Classes for MS-UK
Tracy is proud to teach two weekly classes for the national charity MS-UK. Each week on Wednesday, Tracy teaches one class that is completely seated and a second class that is a mix of seated and standing practices. Many students do both sessions. It is such a privilege to guide people with Multiple Sclerosis through a full yoga practice, incorporating postures, sequences, breathing practices, and a short meditation and relaxation. Life with a chronic illness can be tough and the feedback from these classes tell me how much joy is found in these chair yoga classes. Please get in touch if you or anyone you know could benefit from these Chair Yoga classes, organised by MS-UK. Here is the link for booking.
Class times are:
11.15-12pm: Level 1 Seated Yoga
12.15-1pm: Level 2 Seated and Supported Standing Yoga.
You can choose to do just one class or join us for both classes, with a short break between. There is a suggested donation of £5 per week.
For current students, Tracy has uploaded the dates of her Tutor Training running through to 2024. On those dates the class time is different, at 2pm.
