Maitland Chair Yoga

22/04/2026

Chair Yoga starts back on Monday 5 - 6pm! And Wednesday 11am - 12pm. Come reset and find some calm. Here is a clip of the calm I found on a restorative break in nature :-) Turn the sound on to hear a Lyre bird at Gangudy (Dunn's Swamp)

Yoga really doesn't need to be extreme to have effect... our gentle chair yoga class will help you on your way with no expectations of how you should be...

Growth in this practice isn’t about how it looks.

It’s about how steady you stay when things get hard.
How gently you respond instead of react.
How often you return to your mat, even on ordinary days.

The real work happens inside. 🧘‍♀️✨

That’s where strength is built.

Need to improve your BALANCE?
"It is important to note that balance can be improved at just about any age. The human body has a clever way of becoming efficient at the things we practice regularly." - Will Harlow from Thriving Beyond Fifty

Yoga is by nature a PRACTICE, and not a destination. Every week we practice improving our balance, both in the physical body and nervous system!!

✨ FIND YOUR BALANCE ✨
Special January Chair Yoga Session

As we go through life, balance supports not only how we move, but how we feel.

Join us for a gentle 90-minute extended chair yoga session focused on improving balance in your body and nervous system.

🪑 Wednesday 28th January
🕥 10:30am – 12:00pm
💰 $20
📍Morpeth Catholic Church Hall, 26 James street

Mikola will guide you through key, accessible exercises that help build stability and confidence. With extra time to slow down, we’ll explore why certain movements and poses are so effective. Many will feel familiar from our regular classes, and you’ll learn how to weave them together to support balance, calm, and overall wellbeing—both in your body and in daily life.

I recently ask our Chair Yogis which part of class resonated with them the most... Many answered that it is the
💨 BREATHING 💨.
Pranayama (breath work) is such a simple accessible tool with a profound effect on our lives. What is your favourite way to bring conscious breath to your day?
