Chair Yoga (Virtual) with Victoria Smith.

Victoria Smith took her first yoga class at Nassau Community College over 30 years ago. She felt the benefits from practicing yoga spiritually, mentally and physically and her interest grew. Eventually she decided she wanted to share those benefits with many others and decided to take a 200-hour certification course. She loved every moment of it and has been sharing her yoga since 2005. Chair yoga class is mostly seated postures and some standing postures. It is designed to help build strength, flexibility and balance. There is an emphasis on pairing breathe to movement which increases oxygen flow improving brain function as well as relaxing body and mind. We will practice yoga principles such as letting go of judgements, leaving behind the need to compete, and being gentle with yourself. These practices can lead to experiencing less stress and promoting feelings of wellbeing.
