Chair Yoga

Not everyone can get up and down off the floor easily making traditional yoga classes difficult. If you have any health issues, Chair Yoga is the ideal class for you to try!

Chair Yoga is incredibly relaxing in part because of the heavy emphasis on breathing techniques and relaxation.

Member Testimonial
Real Stories. Real Results.
The Group Fitness classes at AFC Bala are my jam. I prefer to workout in a group setting, enjoying the interaction between class members and instructors. Our instructors motivate me as well as keep me safe by correcting my form. Meghan brings energy, music and new moves to every class she teaches. She started at AFC teaching an aerobics dance class which I loved. I am currently loving her Barre classes, Sculpt and Shred and Core and Stretch. Her class focuses on all muscle groups as well as time to stretch. I take a strength class with Charlene who puts us through exercises to build muscle and tone our bodies. She constantly walks around the room giving encouragement and correction when necessary. We work with different equipment each week. Rick teaches Spin. He is part D.J., motivational speaker, and chair dancer with great music. I can’t help but sweat every class. Kristin is my Mat Pilates teacher. Her class is more Zen (after Spin), which is the perfect addition to my training. Her music choice is wonderful and she always challenges us to move our bodies to stretch, lengthen and tone. Core and more (aka: high intensity) with Olivia is fun as she uses her music, singing and dancing around to distract us from the challenging workout. Her 3 minutes of EMOM (every minute on the minute) is epic. Jill is now changing up her routines to keep us on our toes for Barre class. Each instructor reminds me to breath, hydrate, modify, if needed and challenge myself. Thanks to Kristin who is always listening to member’s suggestions and looking for instructors to best meet our needs.
