Chair yoga is a wonderful way to build flexibility and strength in all areas of the body. This practice keeps you mobile by opening the spine in all directions, waking up your stabilizing muscles, and teaching you how to use your whole body for daily activities like reaching, standing, and walking. Yoga promotes circulation, stimulates the digestive system, calms anxiety and lifts despondency, eases joint pain, and decreases inflammation. Great for those suffering from arthritis, vertigo, respiratory issues, and chronic illness, chair yoga is also accessible and adaptable with all these challenges. It even stimulates the brain-body connection by clearing electrical pathways, encouraging the two sides of the brain to communicate with each other, and refreshing the fascia.
But lest you think this class is only for people who aren’t comfortable getting down on the floor, take note: we work into all kinds of muscles and joints, and attend to some areas the mat practice doesn’t always serve, like hands, feet, and neck. Chair yoga provides a comprehensive practice for body and mind. It is infinitely adaptable, providing both challenge and accessibility. And it is available to everyone—those whose joints, muscles, or balance make bending and kneeling uncomfortable, those in recovery from surgery or illness, and anyone looking for a new way to explore the body. Come out and try this chair yoga, and feel the benefits for yourself!
