Course overview
Chair yoga is a wonderful practice that adapts traditional yoga poses to be done while seated in a chair. It’s perfect for people who may have limited mobility or chronic disease such as long Covid, knee and back problems. Also excellent for people who find it challenging to transition between standing and seated positions, or simply want a quick break from office work. In general, yoga can help manage stress, symptoms of depression, and relieves anxiety. It can also boost your mood, and quality of sleep. Seated yoga helps strengthen and lengthen muscles, ease pain and increase mobility. We will cool down and ensure this results in both uplifting and deeply restful practice by including meditation for the latter part of the session. A wonderful to start the day.
Course description
Join me for this Traditional Chair yoga, derived from traditional yoga, an ancient practice with poses that date back over 5,000 years. Traditional yoga poses can be replicated as sitting yoga poses or yoga stretches using a chair. This adaptation makes chair yoga both suitable and enjoyable for individuals at all levels of experience, so whether you are a complete beginner or at another level. Chair yoga is a general term for practices that modify standing yoga poses so they can be done while seated in a suitable chair. These modifications make yoga accessible to people who cannot stand, lack the mobility to move easily from standing to seated to supine positions, or want a quick break from office work!
