Weekly Chair Yoga @ Oshtemo Community Center
A calm, chair-supported yoga class at Oshtemo Community Center offers a floor-free way to practice. Movements are done while seated or with a chair for stability, supporting comfort while building flexibility, strength, balance, and relaxation. This is a $5 drop-in class, paid directly to the instructor. A beginners mat yoga option is also available for $5 drop-in. The center is served by Metro Bus Route 11 Stadium/KVCC on the lime green line. Consult a route map for exact stops, and consider Metro Link or Metro Connect for more direct transportation options. The facility welcomes volunteers who want to share a skill or passion, and it is available to rent for meetings and celebrations.
