Mondays and Wednesdays (September through June)

Traditional Hatha Yoga is a holistic Yogic path, including disciplines, postures (asana), purification procedures (shatkriya), gestures (mudra), breathing (pranayama), and meditation. The Hatha Yoga predominantly practiced in the West consists of mostly asanas understood as physical exercises. It is also recognized as a stress-reducing practice that attempts to balance body and mind. Asanas teach poise, balance and strength, and are practiced to improve the body’s physical health and clear the mind in preparation for meditation.

Perfect for all levels, Chair Yoga is a great way to relax from head to toe without the stress of getting out of your chair. Chair Yoga adapts traditional Yoga poses so they can be done with a chair, making Yoga more accessible for people who cannot stand or lay down for long periods. Regardless of your age or what condition you are in, you can experience the health benefits of Chair Yoga. Please Note: Starting in October, in order to attend Chair Yoga, you must have received the newest Covid-19 Bivalent Booster shot. This is because many of the attendees are elderly and some are already dealing with long-term Covid. Call Claire at 908-337-5312 or email her at cbaymanner@gmail.com with any questions.
