Chair yoga and mindfulness designed with older adults in mind.

Accessible, personalized chair yoga and meditation from the comfort of your own home.

Approach

Yoga that meets you where you are.

There is no single way to practice yoga, and no particular age, level of flexibility, or type of body you need to begin.

I work primarily with older adults and believe that a yoga practice should adapt to the person, rather than asking the person to adapt to a predetermined practice. Your abilities, health considerations, previous experience, interests, and goals can all shape the way we work together.

For some people, that means a gentle practice focused on mobility and relaxation. For others, it means exploring strength, balance, flexibility, or more challenging variations with the additional support of a chair.

The practice should fit the person, not the other way around.

Is yoga right for me?

Yoga can look different for everyone.

Older adults come to yoga with widely different levels of experience, strength, mobility, and fitness. Some people are completely new to the practice, while others are looking for ways to continue practicing as their bodies or circumstances change.

Chair yoga can provide additional support and stability while still offering opportunities to explore movement, strength, balance, mobility, and flexibility. Depending on the person, a practice can be gentle and restorative, physically challenging, or somewhere in between.

You don't need to be flexible, experienced, or able to move in a particular way to explore whether yoga might be a good fit for you.

Benefits of Chair Yoga

More than one way to support your well-being.

People practice chair yoga for many different reasons. Depending on your goals and the way you practice, yoga can offer opportunities to:

  • Explore strength, balance, flexibility, and mobility

  • Stay connected with your body through changing abilities or circumstances

  • Practice movement with additional support and stability

  • Develop greater body awareness

  • Incorporate mindfulness and relaxation into your routine

  • Create time for movement, reflection, and self-care

  • Connect with others through a shared practice

Yoga isn't a treatment for every health concern, and everyone's body and circumstances are different. My goal is to help you explore a practice that is appropriate, meaningful, and adaptable to you.

Meet Haiden

Hi, I'm Haiden, a Registered Yoga Teacher with extensive training in yoga and mindfulness and more than five years of teaching experience.

I work primarily with older adults, and over the years I've become less interested in what a yoga practice is supposed to look like and more interested in helping each person find forms of movement and mindfulness that work for them.

My teaching is grounded in curiosity, adaptation, and respect for each person's knowledge of their own body and experience.
