What is Chair Yoga?

Online Chair Yoga with Katie

Chair yoga is a form of yoga that modifies traditional yoga poses so they can be done while seated and sometimes the option to stand.

This makes yoga accessible to individuals who may find standard yoga poses challenging, including seniors, those with mobility issues, or people recovering from injuries. But don’t let its simplicity fool you; chair yoga is a potent practice that can improve flexibility, muscle tone, and mental well-being.

Benefits of Chair Yoga

The benefits of chair yoga are vast and varied, touching on physical, mental, and emotional well-being:

• Accessibility: Being a low-impact form of exercise, it’s ideal for individuals who are just starting their fitness journey, have limited mobility, or are looking for a gentle way to stay active.
• Enhanced Flexibility and Mobility: Regular practice gently stretches and strengthens the body, enhancing flexibility and joint mobility.
• Improved Strength and Balance: Chair yoga helps build strength in the upper body, core, and even the lower body, contributing to better balance and reducing the risk of falls.
• Stress Reduction and Mental Clarity: The meditative aspect of yoga, combined with deep breathing, significantly reduces stress levels and enhances mental clarity and focus.
