Chair Yoga  Join Kellie Burnett for weekly classes. This class is for people at all levels of yoga.
Some benefits of yoga are:
-Improved strength and flexibility

This is particularly important in preventing falls, since we are approaching winter time. For people with any disabilities or conditions, it may mean having greater control of your body and its movements.
-Reduction of stress and improvement of mental clarity.
-Opportunities to meet and socialize.
-Improved stress and pain management.
