Our Mercy class is a brand new addition to the studio. It is a 60-minute NON-HEATED CHAIR yoga class. Our class name stems from the most holy of holy seats….the mercy seat. In the Bible, the mercy seat is the throne of God on top of the ark of the covenant. It represented God’s presence, divine access to Him, communion with God, and a place for propitiation. In yoga (and hopefully in life), we are always wanting to practice with the mindset of ahimsa (not causing harm). Our chair yoga class can provide such a place. A seat of mercy, compassion, healing (physically and spiritually), reconciliation, and grace. We must learn to have more compassion towards ourselves and learn to grant our bodies more grace. Chair yoga is a great way to introduce your body to yoga. If you think chair yoga is for senior citizens….let us show you otherwise! The use of a chair will provide support and stability. It will refrain us from getting up and down from the floor, but it will also put our bodies into better alignment through some of our standing postures.
*This class is intended for, but not limited to, beginners and those apprehensive to a heated yoga class.
**This class if perfect for those that physically cannot get up and down from the floor or that cannot put pressure on the knees.
