Hi, Adriene! I am an 81 year old woman. I have been doing your chair yoga routine for a few days. I find that when I'm done I feel very relaxed. This routine is giving me more strength and allowing me to move better. I even breathe better. Thank you so much for this video, you have made a real difference in my life.

I am 54, but my doctor recommended this chair yoga with Adrienne due to my numerous illnesses and sedentary lifestyle. This shouldn't be called for seniors maybe newbies or easy yoga. This is great in many ways!!!! Thank you.

I'm partnered via FB with a friend 2, 000 miles distant. We're trying this program to challenge our sedentary life style. I'm 87; she's in her late 70s. Will try to stay with the program!

As a person with a disability I appreciate the modifications. There isn't enough yoga out there that is tailor made for people with physical challenges which is a challenge without being impossible. This is perfect. Thank you!

Day 6 of REFRESH. I am loving this daily practice that I started in January. What a beautiful way to strengthen emotionally, physically and spiritually. Thank you dear Adriene❤️

I’m 67 and been following Adrien for years now .
This was the first chair yoga ever for me . The arthritis in my hands makes it super painful to do down dogs and flow when using hands for bearing weight so painful.

I just loved this chair practice and found that comfortable healthful feeling of breath and movement in equanimity .
Even on a Chair!
Thank you
Much gratitude

I also found the beginner one too hard but this one and the Gentlle Yoga for Seniors is just right. Some more like these please. I am 57, not strong or flexible and LOVING your classes. I like the way you don't hurry. Thank you so much Adriene.

[williamb]

I had to modify with sitting on the mat and also standing poses since I do not have a chair this time around. Felt good to adjust. Adriene's previous instructions served me well.
Refresh day 6. 549 days in a row.

Hey! I am a Yoga teacher and Ayurvedic Practitioner and I know how important Yoga is for everyone- but it seems to complicated for many Seniors that have never done Yoga before, so they want to write it off. My Senior Citizen Dad, is having some heart issues right now and I know that beginning to connect with his breathe, with his body, stretch, relax, calm, ground, enjoy... he will begin to bring balance to his life. I am not able to be with my Dad now- but I am grateful I can send him this video, that is very similar to how I would want to give my Dad a class... with a lot of positivity and love. You are just a beautiful woman, and I love your energy. Thank-you for this minute gift- the time, and the postures are perfect to just feel a little lighter, yet grounded.

I loved this practice. I turned 40 this year and I've been reckoning with my fading youth. This was a beautiful reminder that there will ALWAYS be options for joyful, supportive movement.

Hi Adriene, I’m a 47 year old morbidly obese disabled woman, suffering with osteoarthritis and other ailments. I used to be exceptionally fit so it’s very difficult to accept that I am in this state. I’ve had several ops on my lower limbs, ankles and knees after an injury walking and running a few years back. Ive tried in vain to partake in physio sessions on line etc but never felt any benefit. My daughter does Yoga with you each day and due to the lockdown I’ve heard your voice talking in the background. I found it so easy to listen to and so sincere. My daughter suggested I check out your sessions to see if any suitable. I have just done two of them !!! I’m doing the chair ones and hope to build up to doing the more complex ones. I feel amazing. Not felt this energised in years. I’m overwhelmed. Thank you so much. You don’t know how much you’ve helped me. Xxxx

[shirleyquinn]

I thought senior yoga, thats not for me, but of course it is, I still think of myself as young in my head, even though I’m 73. Thumbs up to all you 70 years olds and dare i say it 80 year olds out there and everyone else who is a “young at heart” yogi. Thankyou, Adrienne for some interesting moves 🙏 💕

[deborahhenegan]

I had started yoga with Adriene during the Pandemic and my fight with cancer. It helped with my physical and spiritual strength. Thank you!

[jenniferdouglass-mg]

Wonderful! I am doing this with my 85-year-old mother. First time she’s ever done any kind of yoga. The practice almost brought me to tears! What a blessing you are, Adrienne, and we are thankful that you have found your calling!

[claireholdaway]

Chair yoga is so good for seniors, but also for traveling, when you don't want to get down on the floor! Thank you so much Adriene. Please more chair yoga.

[erinhines]

Thank you for reminding me to love and appreciate my body. I will soon be 78 and I don't always remember to be grateful for all of the life events my body has seen me safely through.

[Yourstandardsinger]

this is a great practice! thanks so much. as a "32 year old" senior, who's also been practicing daily...I found this rich and beneficial! went so well with a few days ago yoga for humility. Thanks, Adriene! And way to go community!!

[Maggie-rrgi]

I’m 76 and instead of being depressed and feeling sorry for myself because I’m old now. I looked for a program I can do. I found you. Thanks so much.

[marshachevalier]

Thank you so much for trhis sequence. My sister is 80 and has bad arthritis in her back and hips, but she can do this. More yoga for seniors would be awesome if you are willing. Thanks Adriene!!

[huntrrams]

Although this is intended for seniors! I’m a 21 year old guy and work at a desk job in a hospital and this gave me a extra boost for sitting for 8 hours! Thanks Adriene!
