Chair yoga is a practice of simple exercises that you can do daily to help move, strengthen and stretch your body while expanding your breath and calming your mind, free from the everyday ‘chitter-chatter’.

We have two classes every week which are structured to offer accessibility for anyone affected by multiple sclerosis (MS). Each class is approximately 40 minutes long and includes yoga practice, guided meditation, breathing techniques and central practices at the end of each class. You don’t need to have attended classes before, as you can attend your first class at any time. Each class is structured in a way that allows each movement to be adapted to suit your level of mobility.

  • Level one (11:15am – 12pm) will focus on exercises from a seated position. This class would benefit someone wanting to improve core strength and upper limb movement
  • Level two (12:15pm – 1pm) will focus on exercises in both a seated position and in standing, using the chair for stability

Please bring with water, a tea towel and use a firm chair to do the exercise from (e.g. dining chair without arms).

If you would like to know more about the session or need help registering, please email register@ms-uk.org.
