Chair yoga is a gentle form of yoga that’s done while seated or using a chair for balance. In chair yoga, it’s possible to move into poses like cat/cow, warrior, sun salutations and forward folds, all while seated. Chair yoga is ideal for beginners who might be intimidated by a traditional mat practice because it offers a safe way to learn the poses. Chair yoga is a good starting point to use muscles you haven’t used in a while without the potential risks of overloading your muscles and joints or falling. Chair yoga is particularly well-suited to people who use wheelchairs and those rehabilitating after surgeries, living with chronic illnesses, or dealing with balance issues that make it hard to get down onto a yoga mat. Whether yoga is done in a chair or on the mat, the practice still focuses on the same core principles: focusing on your breath, paying attention to your thoughts, and staying in the moment.

The Book Club
- Nov 27, 2024 01:00 pm

Sometimes I am torn between sitting in my favorite chair and escaping into a good book or heading to my sewing room and tackling a new project. Well, I decided that it would be fun to start a book club here at Finger Lakes Fabrics and tie it in with a sewing project. Once a month we will pick a book to enjoy and share. At the end of each meeting we will all receive directions for a quilt block swap for the next meeting. In no time we will have enough blocks to put together our own Book Club Quilt!!!

Cost: $ FREE
What better way to spend a cold winter weekend? Grab your unfinished projects (or start a new one) and enjoy 4 days of uninterrupted sewing on the shores of Owasco Lake. Bethany House lodging offers the quilter ample sewing space and sleeping accommodations. Delicious meals are provided in the Dining Room just a few steps across the driveway. Led by our very own "Quilt Mom" Doreen Hares, you will be sure to have lots of fun!
