Chair Yoga - Tuesdays @ 11AM in May

Join Instructor Mary Jo Sullivan at 11 am starting Tuesday May 7^th, 14^th & 21^st for Chair Yoga. We’ll be meeting in Mygatts.

Returning for a spring session is Chair Yoga. Chair Yoga offers an exceptional opportunity for older adults to enhance their flexibility, mental well-being, and overall quality of life. It focuses on seated poses and modified stretches that may appear subtle, but their impact is profound. Enhanced flexibility, improved balance, and reduced stress are just a glimpse into the myriad benefits that chair yoga offers.

Join us every Wednesday in Mygatts for a deeper dive into God's Word!
