Bottoms Down is more than just another yoga channel — it’s a supportive, senior-led community built on real experience and real accessibility. Here’s what sets us apart:

1. Yoga for Real People, Taught by Real People Our classes are for seniors, by seniors. Carol (“Yogi”) brings 20+ years of teaching experience and understands the challenges of aging because she lives them too. No pressure. No pretzels. Just safe, effective movement that meets you where you are.

2. Truly Accessible, Anytime and Anywhere Life doesn’t run on a studio schedule. That’s why our short, bite-sized classes (15–30 minutes) are designed to fit your day — whether you’re rolling out of bed or winding down at night. With most people streaming on their TV, your living room becomes your personal yoga space.

3. Safe, Empowering, and Beginner-Friendly Bottoms Down is built for beginners and loved by lifelong movers. Nearly two-thirds of our community are new to yoga, and we design every class to be safe, simple, and confidence-building.

4. High-Quality Production Wellness should be accessible — not another bill. Our YouTube classes are always free. And thanks to our professional in-house studio, the video and sound quality match (or exceed) what you’d find in a paid program.

5. Community Without the Crowd Even if you practice solo, you’re not alone. Our viewers are part of a like-minded community that values wellness over ego. People may discover us by accident on YouTube, but they stay because Bottoms Down works.

In short: Bottoms Down makes yoga truly accessible. We combine the care and authenticity of senior-led instruction with the flexibility of online practice — all from the comfort of home, always sincere, always empowering, always designed for real people like you.

Chair Yoga offers a safe and effective way to improve health and well-being, especially for older adults and those with limited mobility. From a Lifestyle Medicine perspective, its benefits include:

• Physical Health: Enhances flexibility, balance, and muscle strength while reducing stiffness and joint pain. It supports cardiovascular health and can lower risk factors for chronic disease through gentle, consistent movement.

• Mental Health: Reduces stress, anxiety, and depressive symptoms by promoting relaxation and mindfulness.

• Functional Independence: Improves posture, mobility, and confidence in daily activities, which helps maintain independence and prevent falls.

• Accessibility: Provides a low-impact exercise option adaptable to all fitness levels, including individuals managing arthritis, osteoporosis, or recovery from illness.

In short, Chair Yoga integrates movement, breathing, and mindfulness in a way that supports whole-person health — body, mind, and spirit.

Absolutely! Bottoms Down was designed with beginners and those with limited mobility in mind. In fact, 63% of our community are brand new to yoga — and our senior-led classes are built to be safe, simple, and encouraging.

With the support of a chair, you’ll be able to move confidently without worrying about getting on or off the floor. Every session is adaptable, focusing on gentle stretching, strength, balance, and relaxation — so you can progress at your own pace.

Whether you’re starting your very first class, returning to movement after a break, or managing physical limitations, Bottoms Down makes yoga truly accessible — giving you the freedom to move on your own terms, all from the comfort of home.
