The following is the class schedule for our live classes. When you attend a live class, simply visit the Live Classes page 10 minutes before your class starts so you can visit with other students and/or talk to the instructor. If you get there ealier than that, the video will start to play when the instructor starts the class.

The LIVE Adaptive Yoga Moves Any Body live classes and On Demand library has many different types of accessible yoga, breathing, and meditation opportunities. You are encouraged to mix it up! Try a little of this (postures, meditation) and a lot of that (breathing). Remember, safety is your TOP priority.

Classes may focus On Your Seat, On Your Feet, and On The Earth or yoga mat. Yoga Moves presents different options for Any and Every Body. You can make the class your own by choosing to do each pose On Your Seat, On Your Feet, and On The Earth. If you have not experienced chair yoga and are new to the practice, it is highly recommended that you attend the Live Foundations of Chair Yoga before taking other Adaptive Yoga Moves Any Body classes. Make sure you are on our student mail list to be notified of Live Foundations of Chair Yoga classes, special “pop up” classes and workshops.

The class descriptions below suggest props such as blankets, straps, and blocks that you may place nearby. Most adaptive yoga moves classes require one chair and sometimes two. It is very helpful to have two chairs, especially when adapting to poses that are traditionally on the earth. Yoga with two chairs is just like sitting on the floor without having to get up and down off the floor.
