Orcas Today: Thursday, March 12th
Chair Yoga at Orcas Senior Center
March 12th from 10:00-10:45am
Join the Senior Center for Chair Yoga, a soothing practice tailored for seniors and those with disabilities, held Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10:00 to 10:45 a.m. This gentle technique incorporates the use of a chair for support, enabling participants to explore balance poses without the concern of falling. Susie Frank, an Orcas resident of over 30 years, brings her expertise, having practiced yoga since 2009. While Susie suggests a $15 donation per class, no one will be turned away due to financial constraints. For inquiries, reach out to Susie directly at 360.298.4484 or sissooz@yahoo.com.
