What to Expect
Enjoy a warm, welcoming chair yoga class designed for adults who prefer a low-impact, accessible approach to exercise. The sessions focus on gentle movements that build flexibility, reduce tension, and improve everyday mobility, taught in a relaxed community centre setting.
- Improved flexibility
- Reduced tension and stress
- Better mobility for daily tasks
You can expect clear, calm instruction from an experienced tutor who demonstrates seated and standing poses so you never need to get on the floor. The pace is gentle and mindful, ideal for parents caring for older relatives or anyone looking for reliable, safe exercise for mobility.
Activity Details
Classes run weekly on Thursdays at 11:00–11:45 and are suitable for beginners, older adults, and those with limited mobility. Sessions include breathing, gentle stretches, and balance work, all adapted to be done from a chair or with minimal standing practice.
Every new participant completes a brief enrolment form and there is a compulsory $5 annual class enrolment fee. Casual sessions are available, or sign up for a trimester for better value; bookings are essential to secure your spot and manage class numbers.
This activity is family-friendly to the extent it suits carers and parents who need low-impact fitness options; it’s a great fit if you’re seeking gentle exercise, mobility improvement, or a relaxed social class at a local community centre.
Location and Access
The classes are held at Chelsea Heights Community Centre, 160 Thames Promenade, Chelsea Heights 3196, a venue with wheelchair access, disabled toilet, baby change table and secure fenced playground nearby. The centre is easy to reach by public transport and has disabled parking spaces.
Consider walking, cycling or catching public transport where possible to reduce the stress of parking; if driving, accessible parking is available at the centre. The site is friendly for carers who may need pram or mobility aid access and provides a comfortable waiting area for caregivers.
Maps and directions are available on the community centre website and the centre team can advise on the best access points. If accessibility requirements are specific, call ahead so staff can assist when you arrive at the community centre.
Important Information
Please bring comfortable clothing you can move in, a water bottle, and any mobility aids you normally use; matting is not required as most exercises are done seated. The instructor adapts poses for individual needs, so please mention any recent injuries or medical conditions when you enrol.
New participants must complete an enrolment form on their first visit and pay the $5 annual class enrolment fee. Bookings are essential—spots are limited to ensure safe, attentive instruction suitable for those seeking mobility and gentle exercise.
Classes are low intensity and designed to support recovery and ongoing wellbeing rather than high-impact fitness. If you have concerns about suitability, consult your GP before attending and contact the centre for more information about the class structure.
Booking and Prices
Casual rate: $13 per session, or save with Trimester 1 pricing of $120 for 12 sessions. Bookings are essential and can be made online or by contacting Chelsea Heights Community Centre directly.
You can book online via the Chelsea Heights Community Centre website or phone the centre for assistance with enrolment and payment. The centre staff can also explain the compulsory $5 annual enrolment form requirement for new attendees.
Refund and transfer policies are managed by the community centre; if you need to cancel, contact the centre as early as possible so your spot can be offered to someone on the waiting list. This makes it easier for busy parents to plan their week around a consistent, gentle exercise routine.
