This month's highlight
Chair Stretch
Stretch your limits—right from your seat. This chair-based class helps lengthen muscles and release tension while cultivating movements that relax both mind and body. With a focus on joint mobility and increasing range of motion, you'll move through a series of gentle stretches using the support of a chair to naturally align the body and calm the mind. It’s the perfect mid-day pick-me-up when energy is running low.
