Join us on Wednesdays at the Gooderham Community Centre for:

Chair Yoga 11am - 12pm

Gentle Yoga 7pm - 8pm

Want to try yoga and meditation but don’t know where to begin? Come explore the basics in a safe and welcoming environment with Michaela Shaw. Her classes are both energizing and relaxing with thoughtful instructions that allow her students to take the lessons that they learn in her yoga classes and bring them into their daily lives.

Each class will create an experience that includes:

  • User-friendly yoga, with adaptations offered for all skill levels and abilities
  • Pranayama (breathing techniques) to calm the nervous system and steady the mind
  • A sample of meditation as part of every class (loving kindness, body awareness, breath awareness)
  • A final pose of deep relaxation

Classes will be held EVERY Wednesday throughout 2025. Any cancellations due to inclement weather or instructor illness/vacation will be announced on the Gooderham Classifieds Facebook page.

Details for Wednesday 11am Chair Yoga Class:

Chair yoga is a great option for those who are beginning an exercise program or anyone with mobility limitations and aging bodies. We will use a chair and other props to help with gentle stretching and movements. Chair yoga can bring increased flexibility, improve your ability to move and balance as well as reducing stress and help manage pain and discomfort.

  • Classes are held at the Robert MacAusland Community Centre in Gooderham
  • All equipment (mats, chair, yoga props) is provided
  • $10 per class
  • Please arrive 15 minutes early to get setup and chat with your neighbours

Details for Wednesday 7pm Gentle Yoga Class:

This Gentle Yoga class is suitable for both Beginner and Intermediate students. Michaela provides thoughtful instructions that allow students to go at their own pace while building on their knowledge of basic yoga poses to challenge, stretch, and relax the body and the mind.

Yoga mats and props are provided, but feel free to bring your own if you have them and a light blanket or sweater for the guided relaxation part of the class.

Fee is $10/class.

Classes are held at the Robert McCausland Community Centre in Gooderham every Wednesday from 7pm to 8pm.
