You probably have a few questions.
Good. Here are the honest answers. These are the same questions almost everyone asks before their first class.
Before your first class
Do I need special equipment?
Just a regular chair, the kind already in your kitchen or living room. No mat, no props, nothing to buy.
Is this only for older or disabled people?
No. It's for all ages, all abilities. Anyone recovering from surgery, illness, or injury, or simply looking for movement that doesn't demand a "yoga body".
What if I have zero flexibility?
Perfect, that's exactly who this is built for. We breathe and stretch at whatever range your body has today, no judgment, no pretzel poses.
Who's teaching, and are they qualified?
VictoriAnn has practiced yoga for more than 30 years, and taught for 16 of them, and holds certifications across health, breathwork, meditation, and nutrition. This isn't a hobby, it's her life's work.
About Choga and finding a class
What is Rehabilitation Choga?
Choga (chair-yoga) is seated movement, mindful breathing, and dreamlike meditation, for anyone recovering from surgery, illness, injury, or just dealing with life.
What happens in a class?
You take a seat, with your feet grounded. We open with mindful breathing to settle the nervous system, then move through gentle, guided stretches paced for your body, and close with a dreamlike meditation, and many students leave feeling calmer than when they arrived.
Where can I find classes?
VictoriAnn teaches Rehabilitation Choga sessions live on Insight Timer. They're free to join, and you need nothing but a chair.
The link opens VictoriAnn's Insight Timer profile in a new tab, where her sessions are listed.
Is the Choga book only sold on Amazon?
Yes. Choga: Rehabilitation Chair Yoga is available on Kindle and in paperback, exclusively through Amazon.
Still have a question?
Ask away. No question is too small, and there's no wrong way to begin.
