Centered & Strong – Chair Yoga for Mindful Movement

About This Class

This 46-minute chair yoga class with Angie Maguire weaves together slow, intentional breath-to-movement sequences inspired by Tai Chi, creating a meditative and accessible full-body practice. From the ground up, Angie guides practitioners through seated breathwork and energy awareness (apana and udana vayu), arm circles, chest openers, seated twists, forward folds, hip circles, and eagle-arm variations — all performed from a chair. The standing portion adds chair-supported squats, calf raises, balancing knee lifts, a runner's lunge, and a standing downward dog, before cooling down with flowing tai chi-style arm sweeps and a grounded closing reflection. The class is framed around training the mind to stay present through continuous return to the breath, making it as much a mindfulness and meditation practice as a physical one. It suits anyone with limited mobility, those recovering from sedentary periods, or anyone seeking a gentle yet complete movement session that serves both body and mind.
