If you're looking for this on your parent's behalf
You're probably not the one who'll be on the mat, or the chair. You're checking whether this is safe, whether it's real, and whether it's worth the money before you mention it to your mom or dad. Fair questions, here are honest answers.
What chair yoga actually is
Seated stretching, breath work, and gentle strength, all done from a sturdy chair. No floor work, no getting up and down unless a shape offers it as an optional, supported extra. It's a genuinely good fit for arthritis, balance concerns, recovery after a fall or surgery, or simply a body that doesn't want to be on the floor anymore.
Please check with a doctor first
This page, and the course and classes it links to, aren't medical advice. If there's a specific condition, a recent surgery, or a fall risk, a quick check with your parent's doctor before starting is worth the five minutes.
Free vs. paid, honestly
SilverSneakers and YMCA programs offer chair yoga for free or near-free with many Medicare Advantage plans, and if that access already exists, it's worth using first. There are also free, live, real-instructor options worth knowing about, GetSetUp, Bold, and AARP Senior Planet among them. If one of those is already a good fit, genuinely, use it.
What we offer instead isn't "better live classes," free live classes are already good. It's something you can actually buy today without navigating an insurance benefit or a sign-up flow, hand to your parent directly, and pair with a form review that checks how a specific shape looks for their specific body, not a general class size. That's a narrower claim than "we're the only live option," and it's the honest one.
Two ways to start
- Chair Yoga Foundations ($49) — a self-paced course, four modules, watch together or send the link and let your parent go at their own pace.
- Live monthly membership — small live classes with Komal, capped on purpose so no session ever feels crowded, plus a reviewed form check between sessions. Mentioned on the course page, no pressure either way.
