Gentle Chair Yoga
Tuesdays — April 8–29, 2025 | 9:30–10:15am | Chilliwack Hospice Society (7112 Vedder Road)
Join Chilliwack Hospice Society for four, free 45-minute sessions of gentle chair yoga with Emmy Kerr this spring. We know that daily movement can be beneficial to all bodies, especially through the grieving process. If you are grieving the death of a loved one, have received a palliative diagnosis, or are the caregiver of a dying person, consider participating in this supportive group.
Emmy has been practicing yoga for several 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.
