SUMMARY:Chair Yoga at the Water Conservation Garden
DESCRIPTION:Chair Yoga\nwith Instructor Jackie Gadd \nJackie Gadd has been teaching yoga since 2007. She sees it as both a mind/body integration practice for inner peace\, and a functional movement practice for every body’s health. \nSet in the lovely Butterfly Amphitheater at the heart of the garden\, these adaptive accessible sessions aim for good stretch\, a bit of a workout\, and some valuable mind-quiet time. The classes are gentle\, and combine both chair and standing postures to provide what the class needs on any given day: flexibility\, muscular strength\, range of motion\, agility\, vitality\, balance/coordation. Mindful meditation topics help reinforce that ever important connection between body and mind. Bring your own mat (chairs and props provided)\, something for hydration\, and bundle up in layers for outdoor weather. \nGarden Members do NOT need to register online. Please sign in upon arrival.
