Chair Yoga
Eve Oliveira | APR 20, 2025

No, Chair Yoga is not a cop-out! While it may not involve the same level of intensity as some mat-based practices, Chair Yoga offers all the benefits of traditional Yoga—and in many cases, even more.
Chair Yoga invites practitioners to explore movement, breath, and mindfulness while seated. It’s an ideal option for those recovering from injuries, anyone looking to build balance and muscle strength, or people who spend long hours at a desk. In fact, it’s a fantastic way for office workers to stretch, reset, and re-energise during the day.
You can enjoy gentle stretches and classic Yoga poses while seated, or use a sturdy chair as support for standing postures, especially helpful in balance-focused practices.
Best of all? Chair Yoga is accessible to most people, doesn’t require any special equipment beyond a chair, (prefferably without wheels), and sessions can be shorter than traditional classes—perfect for busy lives.
✨ Chair Yoga proves that Yoga isn’t about touching your toes—it’s about connecting with yourself, right where you are. ✨

From my heart to yours, Namaste!

Hello, I'm Eve Oliveira, a passionate Yoga teacher and complementary therapist with over two decades of experience.
While I am trained in various Yoga styles, my heart truly belongs to Hatha Yoga. I love guiding my students through stretches and postures, helping them connect with their breath and become more mindful of their bodies.
My main focus is to encourage students to explore different expressions of Yoga poses, always respecting their unique abilities.
My goal is to provide a safe, relaxing, and enjoyable atmosphere where students feel empowered to take charge of their practice with my gentle guidance.
When I'm not on the mat, I work as a complementary therapist, offering massages, reflexology, reiki, and facials. I also share my expertise as a tutor of complementary therapies at a college in Devon.
