Gentle Chair Yoga

Yoga for Every Body!  If you are new to yoga -- chair yoga is a great way to start!  It is safe, fun, and there’s no downside to using chairs for fitness.

Non-fit people or folks a little disconnected from their bodies can give themselves permission to try something as non-threatening as moving while sitting in a chair.

Fit people can still ‘feel good’ from discovering the deeper breathing connected to the slower movement.  

You are only one yoga class away from a good mood!  

Marina started practicing yoga in 1995, and for the past seven years has taught locally.  Marina also offers Gentle Yoga every Monday and Wednesday at 11:00 am.  Chairs are provided.

Questions about Gentle Chair Yoga please contact instructor, Marina Kachur, at 480-510-6572 or yokama14@gmail.com.

Cost: $10 cash, paid to instructor at each class

Babytime

Babies and young toddlers are just starting to understand the world and what’s going on around them. Join Miss Dawn for stories, songs, bounces, sensory play, and more! All of these elements help young children develop the skills necessary for learning to read. Each session will also feature tips for caregivers on how to set that early foundation for later reading.

Have an older sibling who needs to come along? Please bring a "lovey" for your older child to use as their "baby" during the lap sits and fingerplays. They love this!

This program is for ages 0 to 2 years. This program is designed for children and accompanying adults. Please plan to attend and be engaged with your child for this program. Drop offs will not be permitted.
