Chair Yoga is a gentle, accessible practice designed for anyone who wants the benefits of yoga without getting down on the floor. We use the chair to support balance, stability, and comfort while still exploring full-body movement, mindful stretching, and grounding breathwork.
This is authentic yoga — calming, strengthening, and deeply encouraging.
Real yoga. Real support. Fully adaptable.
Chair Yoga is ideal for anyone who:
feels safer practicing with support
has balance concerns or uses a mobility aid
experiences joint pain, stiffness, or fatigue
lives with chronic conditions
prefers to stay seated or stand only when it feels right
is returning to movement or beginning again
You do not need to be flexible, strong, or experienced.
You simply need to arrive as you are.
LIVE instruction so you’re supported in real time
A warm, welcoming community from the comfort of your home
No pressure — every movement has multiple options
A focus on nervous-system calming and mind–body connection
Gentle strengthening and stretching without strain
Adapted yoga that is still real and meaningful yoga
My intention is that you leave class feeling:
calmer and more grounded
steadier in your body
gently strengthened without fatigue
welcomed, cared for, and included
ready to move through the day with more ease
If you’ve been searching for a safe place to move, breathe, and reconnect — this class is for you.

I log on 15 minutes early to have conversations or to help people log on, if needed. Students get to know each other during this time (or some log on right before class)
We begin by settling into the chair and gently connecting to breath and sensation.
From there, we move through:
joint-freeing movements
slow, mindful stretching from head to toe
seated variations of classic yoga poses (like the Warrior series)
the option to stand or remain seated for adaptable standing shapes
a relaxing seated cool down
a closing Savasana for rest and release
Everything can be adjusted to how your body feels that day.
Each class is 50-55 minutes long.
Below is a short example of the joint-freeing portion of the class. you may find other videos on this YouTube channel.

"Heidi is a fantastic yogi with an incredible sense of the needs of the students in class. Her understanding of how the human body safely moves and easy to understand instructions makes for a great class! She watches her students and offers meaningful alternatives to poses as she teaches. Heidi listens to student feedback and engages with everyone. Her kind friendliness makes for great classes!"

"Heidi is a wonderful instructor who has introduced me to Chair Yoga—a practice often mistaken for a simpler version of traditional yoga. In reality, it offers its own unique challenges. Heidi skillfully adapts movements while preserving the integrity and purpose of each asana and posture. She is highly attuned to the needs of her students, providing thoughtful modifications and alternatives to ensure a safe and fulfilling practice. Her calm, soothing voice and the steady, deliberate pace of her class create a supportive and enjoyable experience, which I deeply appreciate."
