Sitting Pretty

Wheelchair Awareness through Movement® offers a supportive, exploratory space to build comfort, confidence, and ease while moving in and around your wheelchair. Participants are invited to explore transferring in and out of the chair, while gently expanding their range of options through mindful movement.

Through subtle postural shifts and guided exploration, the class supports strength, posture, awareness and a deeper understanding of balance, timing, and base of support. Rather than pushing limits, we work with what’s available, playfully exploring sensations and possibilities to discover new ways of moving with greater ease.
