Chair Yoga

Chair yoga is a gentle practice in which postures are performed with the aid of a chair. Chair yoga classes typically target those with physical disabilities or aging men and women who find a typical yoga session too challenging. It is also a great form of yoga for beginners or anyone who wants to focus on a gentle practice.

Just like a regular yoga practice, Chair yoga increases flexibility, strength and body awareness. When standing poses are included in a Chair yoga class, the chair is used to help with and improve balance. This form of yoga is most suited for our seniors and anyone with physical limitations.

Just about any standard yoga pose can be modified for chair yoga, including backbends, twists, hip openers and forward folds. The great thing with yoga is that it can be adapted to suit anyone’s needs.
