Chair Yoga

What to know before you join
- Chair yoga and meditation are accessible and open for all
- Dress comfortably
- Find a location where you can focus and dedicate 30 minutes to you
- You are not required to keep your camera on
- Prepare to take time to match your movement and motion and have a little fun
- Have a chair that can be stationary
About the instructor
Instructor DuShaun Branch is focused on bringing yoga to as many BIPOC and plus-sized communities as possible. She believes people not only need rest and relaxation, but resistance. Yoga is a powerful way to tap into the balance of ease and positive effort. DuShaun teaches through the lens of equity and trauma-informed, hosting classes in “nontraditional” settings all over the city. She intends on taking down as many barriers as possible to bring yoga to those who are looking for calm and relaxed minds. DuShaun truly believes yoga is for all, and shares that throughout Chicago and beyond.
