At Chair Yogis, we believe yoga should feel accessible, achievable, and welcoming — especially as our bodies change over time.
Our chair yoga classes are designed for mature-aged adults and seniors who want the benefits of yoga without getting up and down from the floor. Chairs are used for support, balance, and confidence, allowing participants to move safely while still building strength, mobility, and ease.
Classes also include breathwork & guided relaxation, helping to calm the nervous system, reduce stress, and support both physical and mental well-being.
Introducing Dara, the founder of Chair Yogis, a transformative approach to yoga and wellness. Starting her career in the fast-paced advertising world on Madison Avenue in New York City, Dara was intimately familiar with the stresses of corporate life. She also discovered yoga’s profound impact on managing stress and finding balance in her own life.
Driven by her passion, Dara became a certified yoga instructor and breath coach, transitioning into a fulfilling second career centred around health and wellness. Inspired by a conversation with a friend who felt she couldn’t participate in yoga because she couldn’t get up and down from the floor, Dara’s purpose crystallized—to make yoga accessible for everyone.
Dara began teaching Chair Yoga to seniors and those with injuries. Using her experience in the corporate world she developed Chair Yogis at Work, especially for businesses whose employees had busy and stressful sedentary jobs. These office-friendly, classes were designed to overcome common barriers, offering concise, targeted sessions that bring yoga’s benefits directly to the desk or workstation.
Dara’s ultimate goal is to empower non-traditional yogis, fostering physical well-being, mental clarity, and inner harmony. Join us on this transformative journey with Chair Yogis and experience the power of yoga for yourself.
Feel better, Function better, Live better.
Chair Yoga uses a chair as a prop for support and balance, making it ideal for people managing injuries, stiffness, or physical changes, as well as those in their 60s, 70s, and beyond who want to stay active without getting up and down from the floor.
Classes include a mix of seated movement, supported standing options (where appropriate), gentle stretching, breathwork, and guided relaxation. Participants are always encouraged to move at their own pace and choose what feels right for their body on the day.
This approach helps build strength, mobility, and confidence without feeling rushed, pushed, or out of place.
