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.
