Twelve classes of about 30 minutes, in three series of four: chair yoga, chair tai chi and supported balance. Each class follows the same timed shape: welcome, warm-up, main set, cool-down and close.
The 60 cue cards give the leader the words to say, the count, the breath cue, an easier option and cautions, and every standing move has a seated version. Show the 162 slides on a TV or projector, and use the Program Pack for substitutes, planning and family newsletters.
