Chair Yoga

Using a chair, participants will gently mobilize their joints, stretch their muscles, learn various breath exercises, and practice mindfulness techniques. Benefits of Chair Yoga include improved flexibility, better concentration, increased strength, boost to your mood, and reduced stress and joint strain. Whether you are recovering from surgery or looking to find an alternative to the up and down motions of traditional yoga, Chair Yoga can help.

Classic Mat Pilates at Oyster Catcher

Originally called Contrology, Classical Pilates is a mindful system of exercises designed to strengthen and stretch the body by focusing on your “powerhouse” – the core muscles that support and initiate movement. Through intentional, controlled exercises, Pilates helps improve flexibility, balance, posture, and overall strength while addressing compensatory weaknesses that can contribute to chronic injuries.
This progressive mat-based class will begin with the foundational exercises of the Classical Pilates system, making it perfect for beginners and welcoming to all men and women, with plenty of opportunity to grow and advance over time. No prior experience needed – just come ready to move and learn. Please bring your own mat, as they are not available at Oyster Catcher.

Yin Yoga

Yin Yoga is a slow, soothing, and meditative style of yoga that targets the deep connective tissues, bones, joints, fascia, and ligaments in the body. In Yin Yoga, floor-based poses are held passively for 2-5 minutes to target your deep connective tissue. The legs, hips, and lower back are the main benefits of this practice. The more we work on our fascial system and deep tissues, the less dense and tight our bodies become as we age. Movement and stretching hydrates fascia and literally helps slow the aging process.
