Have a go at chair yoga with Mind and Body Yoga in Chorley

The 38-year-old runs her own Mind and Body Yoga business, teaching a variety of forms, including mother and baby sessions, hot yoga and restorative at her studios in Penwortham and Adlington.She also runs chair yoga lessons every Friday at Park Road Unitarian Chapel Hall, in Chorley, and she is now hoping to extend her reach by adding another class.

She says: “You get just as much, if not more benefit in a chair than you do on a mat. “This form gets deep into your back and hips. “It is good for people with hip replacements or dodgy knees as you have the support of the chair.“It is also making yoga accessible for people with disabilities or for older people. “But it is for people of any age or ability. I teach an 89-year-old who can bend and touch his toes and there are younger clients.
