Chair Yoga for MS Patients

Sponsored by the MS Association and taught by Amy Shanti Manifase, this open-level yoga class will guide participants through yoga poses and teach breathing techniques, alignment and mindfulness. Held every Thursday afternoon from 1:30 to 2:30 pm, students will gain flexibility and strength while moving at a perfectly slower pace- allowing ample time to enjoy each pose. Although much of the class will be done seated in a chair, the option of practicing some standing poses to improve balance and strength is also included.  Lots of gentle stretching brings movement to the joints and muscles.

In addition to poses, meditation techniques will be introduced during Deep Relaxation time in every class. Chair Yoga for MS Patients is perfect for stress relief and overall wellbeing. Suggested donation is $15 per class.  

Amy Shanti Manifase is a certified yoga teacher, registered with Yoga Alliance since 2008 and has been practicing yoga for over 10 years.  After being diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 1981, Amy originally starting practicing yoga as a means to improve and maintain optimal physical health.  She has since realized that yoga is so much more than exercise and physical postures; a regular yoga practice, including asana, breathing exercises, meditation and the study of yogic philosophy, has truly changed her life.
