Many hold the common misconception that one must be young and fit-or at least able to get down and up from the floor-to do yoga. Attendees will pull up a chair to find this is not the case. They will learn about the latest research reporting the benefits of yoga for arthritis, osteoporosis, and mental health. Then they will experience some chair yoga movements, a simple Eastern knee strengthening exercise, and yogic breathwork and relaxation techniques. Attendees will learn about and experience how the Sit Down and Get Fit Chair Yoga program makes a yoga practice accessible to all levels of flexibility. This program will be held on Thursday, April 17, 2014; 2:00-2:45 PM at the Chaska Police Department Senior Expo, Chaska Community Center, 1661 Park Ridge Drive, Chaska, MN There will be a raffle of the Lakshmi Voelker Get Fit Where You Sit DVD at the expo.
