Enjoy a gentle, accessible yoga class designed around a chair and plenty of support. This session is ideal for parents, grandparents and carers who want a calm, low-impact way to keep fit during the school term while staying close to home and routines.
What to Expect
Each session focuses on slow, controlled movements, breath work and simple seated stretches that improve mobility and posture. You can expect a friendly, unhurried class pace that prioritises safety and comfort.
The teacher will guide participants through breathing techniques, gentle seated twists, shoulder and neck releases and basic standing support poses using the chair. These exercises help reduce tension, increase flexibility and improve balance — great for busy parents who need low-impact exercise.
Classes are welcoming and social, often attracting other local parents and older adults. You’ll leave feeling refreshed, relaxed and better able to manage daily tasks like school drop-offs or afternoons at the playground, while benefiting from the wellbeing advantages of gentle yoga and community connection.
Activity Details
This is a weekly class held on Thursdays during NSW school terms, running for one hour. The advertised time is 12:50–13:50; sessions are structured to suit mid-day schedules so parents can fit yoga into their routine between school runs and errands.
The session suits people with limited mobility or anyone who prefers not to move onto the floor. Participants use stable chairs for seated poses and for support during standing exercises. The class is deliberately low-impact and accessible to beginners.
What to bring:
- Comfortable clothing you can sit and move in
- A water bottle to stay hydrated
- Any small personal support like a cushion
Location and Access
The class meets at Campsie Library and Knowledge Centre, a short walk from Campsie shops and public transport. The library setting offers a calm indoor space, ideal on cooler or wet days.
Facilities at the library include accessible toilets and nearby parking, making drop-off and pick-up straightforward for parents running school runs. The venue is family-friendly and easy to find using local maps or the library’s information desk.
If you need assistance with access or have mobility equipment, contact the library ahead of your first visit so staff can help with arrangements. The setting is intentionally supportive for older adults and carers attending with children.
