CJ Ripp is in her ninth year of business at The Nest in Cloquet, a wellness studio that offers yoga classes and more.

But yoga doesn’t have to be done on a mat. It can also be done seated in a chair.

She demonstrated five ways to stretch your spine and finished with a tension check and breathing exercise.

Ripp has taught Chair Yoga in elementary schools, board rooms, and at conferences for brain breaks.

She offers other yoga classes at The Nest on weekdays. There is a schedule on the website.
