Community Chair Yoga

Join our friendly Community Chair Yoga Classes

Chair Yoga is a gentle form of yoga that you do while seated or using a chair for support. It helps to improve flexibility, strength, and relaxation whilst being safe and accessible.

It's perfect for older adults, people with mobility issues, or anyone who prefers a seated yoga practice.

In 2026, we have Community Chair Yoga classes running in Reddish, Adswood and Lancashire Hill.

Chair Yoga is for anyone, of any age, who would like to learn yoga without having to get up and down from the floor.

You can do the whole class sitting on the chair or you can do parts of it standing up, such as using the chair to help you balance. Your teacher will show you lots of options.

Community Chair Yoga is also suitable if you are a wheelchair user as all venues are accessible.

Who is Chair Yoga for?

People start to arrive about 5-10 minutes before the class starts. The room will already be set out for you so you just choose where you want to sit. If it’s your first time there will be a short form to complete - our volunteers can help you with this.

The class lasts for about 50 minutes and afterwards you are welcome to stay for a cup of tea and a chat.
