Class Description
No mat required! This gentle chair-supported yoga class is designed to help relieve stress, build strength, and improve flexibility, all while staying seated or using the chair for balance. We begin each session with a soothing warm-up, bringing your awareness to the present moment through mindful breathing and light movements to gently warm the body.
While this class was written with seniors in mind, it’s open to all ages and abilities, offering a gentle, chair-supported way to practice yoga that enhances flexibility, strength, and relaxation.
In this class, everyone is encouraged to come as they are.
Every movement is an invitation, not an expectation—take what feels good, and leave the rest.
Guided by your breath, you’ll flow through gentle stretches and energizing movements that promote both strength and relaxation, creating a mindful, calming, and invigorating experience. Accompanied by soft music, each session weaves in elements of yogic philosophy to nurture both the body and the mind.
Our time together will invite you into feeling refreshed, enlivened, and ready to move more freely throughout your day—both in and out of the chair.

Meet Angela
Angela Dahm is an experienced yoga teacher with over 25 years of personal practice and a certified Yoga Alliance RYT® 200 instructor since she completed Hatha Yoga teacher training at Urban Breath Yoga in 2020. Since 2021, Angela has been dedicated to bringing the benefits of chair yoga to senior citizens in diverse settings such as nursing homes, healthcare facilities, libraries, and community centers. Her classes integrate her knowledge of the nervous system with yogic philosophy, offering students variations to promote autonomy, self-nurturing, and well-being. Her classes are built around the pillars of community, compassion, and circulation, helping students achieve both physical and mental balance.
Angela completed a 30-hour certification with Dr. Arielle Schwartz in Applied Polyvagal Theory in Therapeutic Yoga in 2022-2023. Her teaching style incorporates practices learned from studying the Yoga Sutras, embodied anatomy, somatic psychology, and Ayurvedic technology to blend yogic traditions with modern neuroscience. Angela creates a wholesome, inclusive environment for students through thoughtful sequencing and mindfulness practices. She guides students toward a deeper connection with their bodies and minds, making yoga accessible to everyone.
Angela attended anti-racism training via Crossroads in 2019 and has participated in several book studies such as Witnessing Whiteness, Skill in Action and White Fragility, to deeply examine ideas for integrating justice into teaching yoga’s eight limbs and how to support people who face discomfort or resistance due to injustice. Her passion for somatic psychology, social justice, and trauma-informed care help her explore how yoga can serve as a tool for personal and collective healing.
