Gentle Yoga Class at the YMCA

The St. Charles County Family YMCA offers traditional yoga as well as a class which practices yoga with chairs, ideally suited to anyone who cannot get up and down from the floor easily.

This class includes postures that are found in regular yoga classes, but are done in a sitting or standing position. The class also includes experiences with meditation and pranyama.

The chair yoga class is offered on Tuesday evenings from 7:30 pm - 8:30 pm. The traditional yoga class is on Thursday evenings from 7:00 pm - 7:55 pm.
