Vernon County Over 50 is offering a gentle form of yoga. To make this practice accessible, all the classes can be done while seated or using a chair for balance. No floor work! This yoga program is the perfect exercise for those looking to improve posture, increase flexibility, and improve balance while avoiding injury. This well-rounded exercise program includes flexibility and balance exercises. Yoga is a great way for older adults and those with chronic medical conditions to get health benefits by loosening and stretching painful muscles, reducing stress and improving circulation. Individuals can improve their physical well-being through seated exercises. Yoga workouts help enhance range of motion, strength, balance, and coordination. Additionally, participating these classes in a group setting provides a supportive community that understands shared challenges.
