SELF-CARE WORKSHOP
for Parents/Caregivers:
Virtual Chair Yoga
PRESENTED BY THE FAMILY RESOURCE NETWORK
This workshop is for parents and caregivers.
Chair Yoga description:
Chair yoga is a gentle practice with the support of a sturdy kitchen chair which can be done anywhere.
- You will be taken through a sequence of poses, seated & standing, to increase range of motion & build strength in muscles including those surrounding joints.
- Breath work will be included to promote a deeper sense of relaxation and improve lung capacity.
- Practice will be followed by a cooldown period including 4 minutes of progressive relaxation and a few minutes of final relaxation (Savasana).
- It is important during these last few minutes of class to avoid as many distractions as possible to receive full benefit.
- You will walk away feeling relaxed, refreshed, and rejuvenated.
**It is best to do yoga on an empty stomach or having allowed the body to digest for 1½ hours prior to practice. This will alleviate stomach upset. Don’t forget to have water with you too!**
