FOR many Sunshine Coast residents, staying healthy and socially connected can be a challenge — especially when mobility or isolation come into play.
For local resident Susanne Young, Chair Yoga has become a lifeline.
“I feel so much better after the class, and it’s a lovely social outing,” she said.
“I walked into chair yoga for the very first time as a little old lady with a cane. Now, with our instructor Sarah’s gentle guidance, I’m dancing through life.”
Chair Yoga is part of Healthy Sunshine Coast, a Council wellbeing program offering low-cost, inclusive activities that boost physical, mental, and social health. Led by instructor Sarah White, classes are accessible for seniors, beginners, and those recovering from injury, focusing on flexibility, balance, and relaxation.
“Many participants head to a nearby café after each session to connect,” Ms White said.
With more than 70 activities, sessions cost $10 or $5 with a concession card. Registration is free via Council’s website.
