Best Yoga Classes in Dungannon

Sunday morning chair yoga, 10am. Perhaps you think we spend our class sitting on the chair, inactive? Or perhaps you think it’s not for you, as you prefer a more dynamic class? When I teach chair yoga, we are moving the entire body. It is active, not passive. Every cell and every system is being stimulated. The chair becomes a tool (a prop) to help move the body just as a yoga block is used in a mat style class to bring the body into alignment. I have always believed that every person can move their body regardless of age or ability. I also believe that sitting too much has negative effects on our overall health. A chair may be the best means for some people to move their bodies well at certain stages of life, but let’s take the focus off sitting and chairs, and refocus on moving more! Here we are practicing Adho Mukha Svanasana using the wall ropes and chair. Practicing the pose in this way creates space in the body. Using height under the feet and hands allows the spine to lengthen and takes pressure off the wrists and shoulders, making it much more accessible to those with injuries in this area. The legs stay active, and the traction provided by these props works wonders to those students with SI joint pain.
