Move with Confidence: Seated Basics

Build a foundation for more comfortable and confident movement in the first class of our Move with Confidence series. 

Designed for beginners and anyone interested in improving mobility, this class explores breathing, body awareness, joint range of motion, strength exercises and gentle stretches from a seated position. Optional sit-to-stand movements will also be introduced, with participation based on each person’s comfort and mobility level. 

You will learn approachable techniques that can support everyday movement while strengthening the connection between your mind and body. The class will conclude with time to ask questions and discuss ways to continue moving with confidence.

What you’ll need: A sturdy chair or seat, pillow or yoga block, and dish towel. A full-length mirror is optional. Bare feet are encouraged unless shoes are needed for comfort or support.
