Community Chair Yoga - Braintree
(Over 50's)
At The Inclusive Yoga Project, we truly believe that yoga is for every‘body’, regardless of age or ability.
Our 12-week community chair yoga class for people over 50, funded by Braintree District Council, is all about creating a space where you can move, breathe and relax in a way that feels good for you. We use the support of a chair to make yoga more accessible and gentler, helping you stretch, build strength and improve balance.
Held at Braintree Town Hall, this class isn’t just about yoga, it’s about creating a community where people feel supported, connected and at ease. It’s been so beautiful to see how this practice is helping people feel stronger, more relaxed and more connected to their bodies.
Participants have shared:

“Today I walked up and down stairs without holding on for the first time for years”
“I was unsure on coming but so pleased I did, Nikki was very understanding of people’s needs”
We’re so grateful for the positive energy and enthusiasm everyone’s brought to this class, and we’re excited to keep offering more of these sessions in the future.
If you’d like to stay in the loop for future classes or events, we’d love to have you on our mailing list! You’ll be the first to hear about new sessions and other ways to get involved.
Yoga is about feeling good, inside and out.
At The Inclusive Yoga Project, we’re dedicated to bringing yoga to the places where it’s needed most. This project was made possible with the generous support of Braintree District Council.
Stay connected with us, and let’s keep moving, breathing, and growing together.
