St. Philip’s Church, 12 Hodge St., Wiscasset, is hosting a seated yoga event on Sunday, Nov. 22, at 11 a.m., to benefit the Help Yourself Shelf Food Pantry. Instructor is Susan Gallagher, certified yoga instructor. By donation, all proceeds will go to purchase  supplies from Good Shepherd Food Bank, Reny’s, Walmart, and other area stores. The St. Philip’s Help Yourself Shelf, open each Thursday at 5 p.m., is available to anyone experiencing food insecurity.

According to the Get Fit Where You Sit chair yoga web site, those with disabilities, weight challenges, and inflexibility can benefit from the practice of chair yoga, as well as those who have limited space to experience a full mat practice. The chair replaces the yoga mat and becomes an extension of the body allowing one to take full advantage of yoga’s fitness potential without the strain of getting up and down. Even those consigned to a wheelchair  are able to receive the many benefits of chair yoga–the integration of body, mind, and spirit by practicing the modified poses.

For more information, contact Mrs. Gallagher at susan_gllghr@yahoo.com, or St. Philip’s at 882-7184. Wear loose clothing.
