Interested in gentle exercise to help your heart, mind, and aching joints? Join the Love County Library for our Chair Yoga class for seniors, taking place every Tuesday and Thursday at 2:00 PM from October 6th through October 29th. Led by certified instructor Hannah Benson, these classes offer a safe and accessible introduction to yoga, focusing on the unique needs of older adults. Seniors interested in joining are encouraged to call the library to sign up. Spaces are limited.
Participants will benefit from better balance and stability through core and leg strengthening exercises, increased flexibility with gentle stretching to ease joint stiffness, low-impact strength training that avoids heavy weights and high-impact movements, joint and pain relief, with studies showing reduced pain and fatigue associated with osteoarthritis, and improved circulation from movement and deep breathing exercises.
Love County Library is offering this program as part of a health literacy grant from the Oklahoma Department of Libraries (ODL). The program is funded in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
