The Uxbridge Senior Center is proud to sponsor a live 8-week Chair Yoga Class. Yoga has been shown to improve overall health when practiced regularly. Chair yoga is a gentle form of yoga that can be done while sitting. Some poses can also be done standing using a chair for support. Chair yoga can improve your flexibility, concentration and strength, while boosting your mood, and reducing stress and joint strain.  Other benefits include improved balance to help prevent falls, increased energy, and improved relaxation. The class will focus on stretching, breathing, and allowing the mind to be still.

The program is scheduled to begin Thursday, October 6th from 2:45pm-3:45pm at the Senior Center’s Satellite Site which is the McCloskey School located at 62 Capron Street in Uxbridge.  The instructor will be Dr. David Tapscott, certified yoga instructor.  Dr. Tapscott has been an instructor since 2014 and has a deep passion for yoga.  As an instructor, he sees himself as a practitioner at the front of the room, offering guidance and suggestions to allow others to move along their journey of discovery.  The class will run one hour, one day a week for an 8-week period of time.  The suggested donation cost for this 8-week class is $25.00 and is open to all in the community including those outside the Town of Uxbridge.  Checks should be made payable to the Uxbridge Senior Center.  Bring your own yoga mats and blocks, if you have them.
