Recurring Event Event Series: Chair Yoga & Dance

Chair Yoga & Dance

August 5, 2021 @ 11:00 am - 11:45 am

New Exercise class starting May 6, 2021!

Chair Yoga & Dance led by Nicole Simpson is an adapted form of chair yoga with a dance component using integrated yoga moves coordinated to lyrics of timeless popular music. The class starts with a warmup, then a dance segment where the main moves are introduced prior to each song, and finishes with a segment of some yoga exercises & cool down. This style is gentle, effective, and fun with an emphasis on posture and proper breathing.

Great for various conditions from general deconditioning & poor posture to joint issues, injury & disease. Participants gain better function in daily living activities with benefits such as:

  • Builds strength, balance, and flexibility with the added benefit of coordination through dance
  • Lubricates joints, ligaments, and tendons
  • Improves circulation, pain management, and mood
  • Reduces stress, anxiety, and blood pressure through mindful breathing
  • More restful sleep and overall sense of wellbeing

A typical class is 45 minutes in length with a 3-minute average of introductions & instruction to the virtual aspects in the beginning and at the end with any questions & comments. Joining in this special community, time flies as you lose yourself in the fun activities and familiar music.

Nicole Simpson is a fitness and wellness professional with over 30 years in the health industry and holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Kinesiology specializing in Exercise Science. Her degree includes an internship in Clinical Exercise Physiology training individuals with different injuries & disease in a gym setting. With over 20 years’ worth of skills in meditation and the eastern arts of yoga, tai chi, and qigong, Nicole is also a wheelchair user with paraplegia due to a spinal cord injury sustained in 2002 and an Ovarian Cancer survivor since 2007!
