My YouTube Channel (Frannie James Chair Yoga) is a mix of 45-60 minute practices, 20-minute practices, and 10-minute practices. My intention in doing this was to help you build a consistent (maybe 3-4 days per week) practice. And, I well remember when one of my teachers told me that I'd "practiced" if I simply sat on my mat and breathed. So, these 10-minute practices do indeed "count." Give one a try. I think you might be surprised at the difference ten minutes of intentionally moving with your breath makes🌻

This 10-minute Chair Yoga practice helps you get circulation to all of your joints and to thus build mobility and strength.

My summer this year is one of slowing down and (temporarily) letting go of some of my classes, including the two FREE classes I usually teach on Mondays. So, there are only three more 📣FREE Chair Yoga📣 classes in June. BUT, I encourage you to reach out to your local churches and libraries to encourage them to offer Free Chair Yoga classes. And, I'm happy to help connect your library or church to a qualified Chair Yoga teacher🌻And, my free Monday classes will resume Aug 17 (8:45am at St Luke's in Mountain Brook) and Sept 14 (11:30am at Hoover Library).
