What is Chair Yoga?
Chair yoga is a gentle yet effective form of yoga practiced while seated or using a chair for support. It incorporates stretching, strengthening, breathwork, relaxation, and meditation—offering all the benefits of traditional yoga in a more accessible way.
Inspired by the teachings of B.K.S. Iyengar, who introduced props to enhance yoga practice, a chair serves as the ultimate support tool. It allows you to experience the physical and mental benefits of yoga while feeling stable and secure.

Ryan’s Approach: Moving with Flow
Movement has always been a part of Ryan’s journey—through strength training, running, and HIIT—but yoga is where he truly discovered the power of moving with awareness. Instead of pushing through resistance, he learned to listen—to move in a way that feels fluid, natural, and in tune with the body’s needs.
Ryan believes in starting from level zero, building a strong foundation rather than forcing progress. He knows that true strength comes not from struggle, but from moving with intention and ease. Chair yoga embodies this philosophy—offering a practice that is accessible, empowering, and deeply restorative. No matter where you are in your journey, you can begin again. You can move with flow.
Step into a new season of movement with Ryan on March 19th - embrace strength, flow, and ease in your body like never before.
