Almost Chair Yoga
Long-time Yoga teacher and Morningside Gardens resident, Jana Titus explains below in her own words how this class offers yoga, meditation, and directed breathing.
     "People ask me... "How can you do yoga sitting down?" and I answer,“You can do yoga lying down. In fact, you can do yoga not moving at all...”Yoga is about consciousness, not fitness. And when you approach it in that spirit, practice becomes a kind of moving meditation, with the emphasis noton whatyou’re doing –the exercise per se −but how you’re doing it." 

"Chair yoga is about joining awareness to movement. That doesn’t mean you don’t really work your muscles, or open your joints, or get your circulation going. On the contrary – because you’re sitting, and therefore don’t have to worry about balance –or over stretching a sore muscle, hurting a painful joint, straining your back, or keeping up with a fast pace −it’s possible to put all your attention on the movement itself.  Thus you receive the full physical benefits of practice–not to mention the mental and emotional −with minimal physical stress." 

"And that’s just the first step. Most important is what you take with you from class into the rest of your life –ways to reduce stress, generate energy and maintain focus." 

       - Jana Titus, October 2014
