Chair Yoga & Mindfulness - Special Session
with Lisa Daugherty
Join Lisa for this special chair-based yoga class to practice your breathing techniques, and improve your heart rate, mental focus, and relaxation. *This session is a substitute for Low Impact Exercise at Martindale-Brightwood. Try out chair yoga with Lisa at the same day and time!
Chair yoga is a relaxation that also energizes body and mind by connecting breath to stretches and gentle movements. This activity improves posture, flexibility, balance, strength, and mind/body awareness. It helps to promote more steadiness and confidence in one’s body along with an overall sense of well-being and peace. We will have intermittent meditative music to accompany the class and close with a brief meditation.

Martindale-Brightwood Branch

About the branch
The Brightwood Branch opened in 1901 as the sixth public library in Indianapolis. It served the Brightwood community at several locations along Station Street, one street west of its current North Sherman Avenue storefront site which opened in 1972. A 1996 renovation at this location doubled the size of the branch to 5,400 square feet. In 2020, a brand-new branch building, across the street from the previous branch, was completed and re-named as the Martindale-Brightwood Branch.
