Tell Renae how you move today. She can change the height as needed.
03
Bring your history
Tell Renae about surgeries, falls, balance, and clinical limits. She can adapt each position around them.

Try one class
Come early to talk with Renae. Three classes or two unlimited weeks cost $45.
Common questions
Start with the question that brought you here.
These are the questions people bring when pain, stiffness, stress, or lost mobility has started shaping daily life. The answers begin with what Kaiut students experience, then connect those outcomes to the practice and the research.
Question 01
Does Kaiut Yoga Austin offer a chair yoga class?
Plenty of students here start in a chair, and some stay there. A chair raises the floor to a height your body can work from, which means you do the same joint work as everyone else without first having to get down and up. Renae sets your starting height for you, then changes it when you are ready and not before. The next useful step is to experience the method in the room. The $45 introduction gives you three classes or two unlimited weeks to notice what changes when the body receives this kind of time, support, and attention.
Question 02
Is chair yoga enough if I have limited mobility?
You do not have to get down to the floor to begin. Tell Renae before class if kneeling, standing, balance, or using a mobility aid is uncertain. She can begin the progression at a massage table or chair and use the floor only when that route is workable for you.
Question 03
Is chair yoga good for seniors?
A category such as older adult, athlete, or beginner does not decide whether the class fits. The useful details are the starting height, balance demands, current restrictions, pace, and whether the teaching remains clear. Bring the body and health history you have rather than assuming a broad audience label answers those questions.
Question 04
What should I wear and bring to a first class?
Choose clothes that remain comfortable while sitting, lying down, and changing position. Yoga-specific clothing is not required. Avoid anything that makes it hard to breathe, hear an instruction, or tell what the knees and feet are doing on the mat.
Question 05
How do I find out whether this is a fit before I book?
Open the live schedule, choose a realistic class time, then use the pricing page to choose three classes or two unlimited weeks for $45. Arrive early for the first visit so you can find the room and tell Renae about injuries, surgeries, balance concerns, or movement restrictions before class becomes quiet.
Question 06
What health information should I bring before class?
Wear clothes that remain comfortable while sitting, reclining, or changing position. Massage tables, chairs, mats, wooden blocks, orange bolsters, and wall space are already available, so special yoga clothing or equipment is not required. Bring any written movement guidance that matters and arrive early enough to explain it without hurrying.
What research has found
The evidence supports movement, function, and quality of life.
These studies tested yoga programs rather than Kaiut Yoga Austin specifically. They strengthen the case for practice while the student stories above show what people have experienced with this method.
- Systematic review of 22 randomized trials in older adults
The review found improvements in balance, lower-body flexibility, lower-limb strength, mental health, sleep quality, and vitality compared with inactive controls. Strength and flexibility also improved against active controls.
- Meta-analysis of yoga, balance, and mobility after age 60
Across six trials, yoga produced small improvements in balance and medium improvements in physical mobility. The review did not establish whether those gains prevent falls.
- Systematic review of yoga and frailty markers in older adults
Thirty-three studies found moderate-certainty improvements in gait speed and lower-extremity strength and endurance compared with education or inactive controls.
