I’m Felicia. I encourage the use of nutrition and movement to help women over 50 age vibrantly — eating well, moving freely and living fully.
You’re never too old to become your best self and never too young to set yourself up for longevity.
I hope you’ll find something here to nourish and empower you. Be well!
Yes! There is a great misconception that you have to be flexible to practice yoga. That is not the case. The online classes offered by The Wellness Chair are accessible to all and do not lead you into ridiculously impossible movement. The practice is nourishing for both mind and body and very supportive and accepting of everyone’s individual capabilities. You will find the classes very approachable.
Yes, everything we do in class can be accessed in many different ways. I have experience teaching classes of both sitting and standing students. The same outcomes can be achieved whether sitting, standing or lying down.
The classes offered online are 45 minutes long.
Yes, 15 minutes of every class are devoted to breath work and guided meditation. I believe these are key components of every yoga practice.
Yoga offered today takes on many forms, not always best for the aging body. I have been trained to understand the needs of older women and their changing bodies. Fancy poses and pushing one’s self to extremes is not wise for us. In these classes there is a steady focus on improving balance both physical and mental, increasing strength and maintaining agility. A focus on these goals enables women to maintain health, independence and vitality as they age. Join me if you want to be your best vibrant self.
I always recommend coming to the first free class with what you have or do not have. If you enjoy the experience, which I hope you will, we can talk about what you will want to have going forward to support yourself. There are many different yoga mats out there, some much better than others to support your practice.
A comfortable top and pants that you can move in. Whether they are fitted or loose doesn’t matter. Whatever you are comfortable in works.
You’re never too old to move! I have students who are 90 and still moving beautifully and happily at their own pace!
