May 2nd, 2007 Subscribe To Our Feed
Chair yoga is just what it sounds like: gentle yoga done sitting on a chair or with the aid of a chair, either as part of a yoga class, or for anyone too busy to do formal yoga classes. Chair yoga has caught on with seniors, and at retirement communities, because it’s safe and suitable for those who have trouble getting up and down, and who have stiff joints.
The poses for chair yoga are hatha yoga adapted for someone sitting down, or standing an using a chair for support.
Chair Yoga For Workaholics - Calm Down And be More Productive
You may be busy, but you can still do yoga. At its simplest, chair yoga for workaholics is simply taking time out for pranayama (yogic breathing) several times during the day, and doing some simple yoga stretches while seated at your desk.
It’s particularly valuable if you suffer from any of the various forms of Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI), and of course if practiced daily, your chair yoga will help to prevent RSI too.
Chair yoga also relieves stress. If you’re rehearsing a presentation, do some side stretches, and bend forward, and take a few moments for pranayama. Even five minutes of gentle practice will relax you, and give you a burst of energy.
Chair Yoga For Seniors - Improve General Health, And Loosen Stiff Joints
