About
SilverSneakers is a fitness and wellness programme included at no extra cost in eligible Medicare Advantage plans, with chair yoga as a flagship offering for members who need low-impact seated exercise. The SilverSneakers GO app and online platform host hundreds of live and on-demand seated fitness classes that can be accessed from home.
What It Does
Chair yoga sessions combine gentle seated stretches, mindful breathing, light strength movements, and relaxation — all anchored by a standard chair. Live online classes provide real-time instruction and community connection. The GO app includes daily activity tracking, classes targeting mobility and balance, and social hour meetups.
Who It Helps
Older adults and people with limited mobility enrolled in eligible Medicare Advantage plans; limited free content is also available to non-members. Particularly useful for people with arthritis, joint replacements, or balance challenges who need instruction adapted for seated movement.
