CHAIR BASED YOGA
With a passion for making yoga accessible to all, Louise is a certified Chair Yoga instructor dedicated to helping individuals of all ages (she works with students from 60 - 102!) and abilities experience the physical and mental benefits of yoga, without the need for getting down on the floor. With a background in psychology, disabilities, yoga & wellness and years of teaching experience, Louise offers a gentle, yet effective approach to yoga that emphasizes mobility, flexibility, and relaxation.
Chair Based Yoga is a wonderful practice for those with limited mobility, chronic pain, or anyone seeking a low-impact alternative to traditional yoga. Through a combination of seated poses, standing postures with support, and mindful breathing techniques, Louise creates a welcoming, non-judgmental space where students can explore their physical potential and find moments of stillness.
Whether you're new to yoga, dealing with injury, or simply looking to improve your strength and balance, Louise’s classes are designed to meet you where you are and to help you build confidence and ease in your body. Louise believes in the power of breath, movement, and community to foster a sense of well-being and resilience, both on and off the mat (or chair!).
Louise is available for:
-
Group chair based yoga classes
-
Private sessions
-
Corporate wellness programs
-
Workshops and events
If you're ready to experience the benefits of chair yoga in a supportive and inclusive environment, Louise invites you to join a class and discover how yoga can fit seamlessly into your life—no mat required.

Chair yoga with Louise is the highlight of our residents' week. Our oldest resident of 102 attends the yoga classes and loves it.
Margit - The Cambridge Homes Assisted Living
The yoga classes are one of our most popular classes - so popular in fact that we had to add an additional class. Louise brings a sense of calm, experience and is very inclusive, ensuring everyone feels seen & safe.
Michelle - Somerville Council on Aging
The yoga classes with Louise have been really well received in our library. At the request of the participants we added classes.
