Berkshire Yoga Festival 2026

Chairs will be provided. Bring your mat!

Join Stephan and Ingrid in their wildly popular Chair Yoga class for all ages that is fun, challenging, invigorating, and inspiring (and perspiring!). We start in the chair for simple joint-opening movements, and then get up and create yoga flows using the chair as a prop that will surprise you and make you wonder why you haven’t done this before. Chair Yoga is great for people who may have stiff muscles, may have an injury, may not enjoy getting down to and up from the floor frequently (or at all), or who really enjoy learning a new way of practicing (and teaching) yoga. Some poses are actually deeper using a chair! It is a wonderful way to personalize your practice for your shifting daily needs. And, blissfully, you’ll experience a healing Savasana with your legs up on the chair, with Ingrid singing to you. : )

Here’s another opportunity to dive into Chair Yoga with Stephan and Ingrid! These classes are some of the most popular offerings at their NYC studio. We’ll go deeper and take more time to sequence, while we honor the many different types of folks that attend this form of yoga class. The framework will remain the same: celebrating movement; bringing accessibility to the practice; troubleshooting common challenges; and being super creative, inspiring, and fun with the chair (not necessarily on the chair!). You’ll be amazed by what’s possible in a chair yoga class. This is a great class for students and, if you’re a teacher, it’s also an excellent opportunity to discover or reimagine a new revenue stream for you and your studio.
