We know that daily movement can be beneficial to all bodies, especially through the grieving process. Drop-in to Chilliwack Hospice Society for a free 45-minute session of Gentle Chair Yoga with Emmy Kerr this winter.
Emmy has been practicing yoga for about five years. In January 2020, she received her Yoga Teacher Training (YTT200) certificate from Haven School of Yoga. The training received is Anusara-based which focuses on physical alignment of the poses and linking breath to movement.
Emmy says, “This line of training, combined with my background as a Registered Nurse, has allowed me to structure my yoga classes with a deep understanding of human anatomy and how to adapt the practice to suit each individual.”
Her passion lies in doing her best to make yoga accessible to everyone, not limited to their physical abilities. Teaching chair yoga has reaffirmed her belief that small yet consistent daily movement is the key to maintaining the momentum of the physical body.
We look forward to meeting you exactly where you are on your mat (or on your chair!)
Free to attend; space is limited. Please RSVP to Laurie McNaught, Community Outreach & Education Manager, at (604) 795-4660 or email [email protected]
