This past May, my wife Lisa and I just completed three years of partaking in Mary Wehlage’s Chair Yoga class in Hartland that meets twice a week. We just love the way that Mary makes everyone feel comfortable and is always making sure that participants are careful not to overextend or bend while doing a certain pose. She invites us all out of our chairs and perhaps only use our chairs for balance if necessary. Safety is always a concern for Mary. Her wonderful smile and happy instruction makes our day.

My wife, Lisa is a stroke survivor and is right-side weak. Mary has her do the various poses in her chair twice with her left side. She moves her chair if necessary and sets her up with blocks, belts, or an extra chair to make sure my wife is safe and able to do the pose to her best ability. The other attendants in our class are of various ages and abilities. Mary talks us all through and gives us various ways to perform the given pose. She will assist when necessary. We just love Mary and look forward to her classes each week. We would recommend anyone to come join us no matter what your abilities are. We have all become very good friends over the years.
