Intro to Chair Yoga with Suman Barkhas
Intro to Chair Yoga with Suman Barkhas
Suman Barkhas has been practicing and teaching Yoga, Tai Chi and Qigong for over 30 years. After spending his last few years in Virginia, he is returning to this area to resume his practice at Oregon Heart & Vascular Institute, and downtown at Peace Health. Suman will be at the Fern Ridge Library on Saturday, December 17 at 11:00 for about an hour, to offer an Introduction to Chair Yoga. This is a gentle practice in which postures are performed while seated and/or with the aid of a chair. Chair Yoga classes typically target those with physical disabilities or aging men and women who find a typical yoga session too challenging. Some of the benefits of Chair Yoga are improved strength, improved flexibility, better body movement, improved mental clarity, and decreased stress and pain. Yoga also helps you meet people and socialize. This introduction will go over what to expect in a class with Suman, and also show a few simple moves to get you started. Please join us – Free, Adults only, please.
