CHAIR YOGA

CHAIR YOGA


accessible and gentle yoga inspired exercise

 What is CHAIR YOGA?

Chair based Yoga is great for maintaining balance, strength, mobility, breath and body awareness.

Accessible for all regardless of age, body or experience. 

Cannot get down (or up) from the floor, chair or bed due to age, disability, inflexibility, or injury?

Want to practice yoga where getting down to the floor is impractical (at work, travelling, etc.)?

JOIN ME LIVE IN LONDON OR FROM HOME VIA ZOOM

Please make sure you have a chair that suits your height (your feet easily touch the ground but your knees are not too high), has a supportive back rest and is stable enough that you can use to support your weight and balance if you stand.

OFFERINGS


Private sessions, Community and Corporate Groups

1-2-1 YOGA

Anytime, any style.

In your home, garden or a local park find the yoga to suit your body, have a yoga session at a time that suits you and with rates on a sliding scale suits your budget too.

Held in a safe place, with Jessica’s warm, reassuring presence and close attention to all your movement needs you can:

• focus on an aspect of your asana practice.

• Heal an injury through the therapeutic properties of proper alignment.

• Have personal space and privacy.

• Build confidence and strength before joining a public class

A one to one session is an opportunity to get a practice that is designed just for you in your home or at your work and fit your practice around your schedule. I also offer a sliding scale for these sessions.


Community and Corporate Groups

Community groups often have specific needs Jessica is devoted to offering Accessible Yoga to those that would not feel welcome or comfortable in a Yoga studio setting or are not aware of the benefits this practice can have.
Examples of groups I have worked with include: the elderly, women’s groups: including specialist classes for Menopause, FGM survivors, refugees, children and families and teenagers.

Do you know, work with or belong to a group that would like a yoga teacher?

I am always interested in meeting your group to discuss your specific needs.

Please email me to discuss contact@jessicagreen.net


Corporate

I offer a sliding scale between £80 and £40 for an hour of expert, personal and specific yoga practice designed for you.

Corporate or private group classes at your workplace or in group setting.
Long days, commuting, poor sitting positions and limited or no breaks can make a more stressed and inefficient workforce.  

Yoga in the office is a great way to address these issues!  As anxiety, depression, sick days and obesity are increasing, it makes sense to invest in corporate well being.

Key benefits include: relief from stress, anxiety and insomnia

Results are: higher staff retention, enhanced motivation and creativity, reduced absenteeism and a greater sense of team and work morale.

I offer 3 options:

  • Taster sessions (30 mins for large groups)

  • Regular Yoga classes, (60 mins for groups of 4-12 people)

  • Wellness days, including a healthy, fresh, vegan lunch and reflexology and head and neck massage sessions.

Classes can be scheduled early morning, during lunch hours and after office hours.
