 The class is mostly seated, but offers a portion of  standing work, using the chair for balance, or you may choose stay seated throughout. Stretch bands are sometimes used to increase muscle strength and flexibility. The program ends with a seated guided meditation, leaving you deeply relaxed and peaceful while feeling more balanced and uplifted

      "I’ve taken yoga for many years, but this chair yoga class is my all-time favorite.  "
 Stephanie Slavin, Sarasota, FL

      "My achy joints are happy to have found chair yoga.  I walk away from the weekly class absolutely changed, rejuvenated and uplifted.  The program facilitator is Angelena Craig and she is a true master of the craft, having trained at the famous Kripalu Center near Boston. I am  surprised more men don’t take advantage of this pain-relieving and fairly easy-to-do fix. I say try it, and you’ll be hooked to regularly do the chair version of yoga."
Clinton E. Day, MBA Sarasota, FL

     "Angelena is a gifted teacher giving excellent directions while encouraging us to breathe, get in touch with our bodies, relax and really strengthen and loosen up."
Paulette Black, Boston, MA

Kripalu Flow Yoga 

Angelena is currently offering private or semi-private beginner classes 

​The format includes centering, pranayama practice (conscious breathing), warming up the joints and then moving into the more traditional asanas (postures) and vinyasas (posture flows).  

Classes end with a brief seated meditation, followed by shavasana, the pose of deep relaxation. Within this format, each class is somewhat different and geared to the student.  Zoom or in person. Only requirement you can get up and down off the floor easily.
A FEW ENDORSEMENTS....
​
​“Private classes are so important initially not only to learn how to do each posture the correct way but also learning and practicing deep yoga breathing throughout the class. I have gained so much more strength and flexibility through Angelena’s tutoring”.
Rosemary Zottola  

​ "I love Angelena's classes and the way she teaches. She uses the power of example to show me how to age wonderfully."
— Ellen McGrory                                                                                  

Chair Yoga  

 For anyone who knows that Yoga would be good for them, but can not easily get up and down off of the floor or who have endurance issues, these classes offer the same benefits of a regular yoga class but are done (mostly or totally) seated and when standing, using the chair for support. 

Angelena first began teaching chair classes  20 years ago and has refined her program,  over the years. 
She has been a teacher in residential settings, yoga centers, corporations, and privately. Her DVD, "Angelena's Yoga Using a Chair" has sold copies to students throughout the US and abroad. It is available through this web site

Private Yoga Sessions

If you prefer to work one to one, or with your partner, classes may be arranged and designed so that they are appropriate for your individual needs and experience level. The fee is reasonable. Private classes are particularly helpful for any of the following reasons: 

• You don't enjoy group classes and want to learn yoga from the beginning.
• You have a chronic condition or injury and you want to focus on a particular area.
• You need to quickly learn and practice the tools of stress reduction.
• You can't seem to match your schedule with any group classes offered, and you need more flexibility week-to-week.
• You want to learn how to practice yoga while using a chair for support (teaching chair yoga is one of Angelena's specialties).
