Ways to practice Chair Yoga with Tania
Weekly Group Class
The 6:00pm Friday evening Gentle Yoga class is fully adaptable to practice in, or holding onto, a chair. You choose the level of support you need from using the chair as a prop for your practice. This is especially useful if you are nursing an injury or recovering from surgery, or you are confident with seated and standing poses but find it a challenge with balance, or to get up and down from the floor. Different from my other group classes, this one is offered during each school term with holiday breaks between, and is limited to a maximum of 8 students. Terms are 10-weeks in duration and full payment is required before attending the first class. Concession is available for students with a Health Care, Veterans or Seniors Card.
Private 1:1 Sessions
Practice in the comfort and privacy of your home. I come to you for an initial 15-minute consultation so we can connect, and together we will map out your needs and preferences for your practice. Whether you want a few sessions to better understand yoga and your body, or you would like a regular bespoke practice, we can make it happen.

Retirement Villages, Aged Care, Schools & Businesses
Is your current Wellbeing Program delivering results for your students, residents, clients or staff?
Yogic practices such as mindful breathing, moving the body for joint mobility, strength and balance, and simple meditation techniques can support the people you care for and work with in the following domains:
Stress Management
Recognise the signs of acute (quick onset) and chronic (long-term) stress, and implement safe practices and methods to regulate the nervous system.
Mental Clarity
Know how to task focus, rather than “task switch”, and to take the time for mini mental breaks to improve individual outcomes and productivity.
Physical Stamina
Practice stretches to provide relief from tension felt during long periods of sitting, standing, and repetitive actions, and improve ongoing stamina.
Community
Experience hands-on, active sessions or workshops that are relevant, accessible and fun to foster a culture of trust and support with your valued team.
What Others Have Said
“Tania’s yoga session was great! We asked if she could come to our dental clinic for a 30-minute session with the staff. She was very professional and calming. Tania was able to guide us through all of the movements and explained the reason behind every single one. No previous yoga experience was required and she was able to tailor the session according to each individual's needs and capabilities. We loved the session! Thank you, Tania.”

“We asked Tania to visit our Year Four classes to demonstrate and teach Yoga and Mindfulness as an extension to our Respectful Relationships program. The students were fully engaged during their yoga exercises and breathing activities. They felt calm and happy afterwards. It was well worthwhile.”
