The floor was turned over to Jan and Maranda for the program. They passed out information on chair yoga.  Jan said yoga has both physical and mental benefits. Physical benefits are increased flexibility, increased muscle tone and strength, improved respiration, energy and vitality, weight reduction and much more.  Mental benefits; yoga helps manage stress, it is effective in developing coping skills and reaching a more positive outlook on life.

They led the group in a series of chair yoga movements.
