Chair Yoga | 30 min | Feel Good Rotations | Cara Kircher

This is a 30 minute gentle chair yoga sequence done entirely in sitting.

These rotational movements for the shoulders, hips and spine feel soooo good!

I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!

If there is a body part you are unable to feel or move very well, you can always chose to visualize that movement. This will exercise the area of your brain that is responsible for organizing information from that body part. It can be very useful to imagine moving areas of the body that can’t move, as it can help with pain, and with reorganizing brain networks.

Make sure you are sitting in a sturdy chair with no wheels. If you are in a wheelchair, lock your brakes. I recommend being in bare feet if possible, so you can get lots of sensory information through the bottoms of your feet, but if you prefer to wear running shoes, that also works! Socks can be slippery.

Please let me know in the comments what other videos you'd like me to make for you!

With love,

Cara

Thank you Cara. I really appreciate all the sessions that you do. I am 80 years old and do at least two of your gentle yoga classes daily. I especially enjoy the more recent ones.

A wonderful rotation routine: comprehensive, intense, well developed, ending with a sense of fullness, release, and calm. This routine alone served as my morning stretch, a super warm up before exercising, and moved me closer to searching for my body's center--that internal invitation that Chair Yoga imparts in me. Thank you, Cara, for this imaginative session!...Anastasia

I absolutely love your videos, Cara. I have been doing one daily and I feel so much better! Thank you so much for sharing these.

Hi Cara! I just found you and looks like you haven't done any videos the last couple of years. I was a COTA for 27 years until I had a series of strokes in which I was not able to return to work. Now I am working on myself, getting more coordination and balance. I thought your instruction was different and that you must work in PT and then found out you work in OT. I do hope you chose to come back and make more videos.

Feeling refreshed, relaxed and challenged without needing to be a pretzel.

I LOVE your chair yoga practices! My latest addition to my daily classes. I wish you had one hour practices as well!! Your video production is spot on and your soothing voice wonderful ❤️👌🙏

Hi Cara, I've been doing chair yoga for about 6 months. I believe I am now ready for a floor routine. I love your instruction. Will you be doing a beginner floor practice in the future? Longer chair practices? Thank you for all you do.

I have been practicing Kara's chair yoga for the last three years. Really enjoy the new segments.

[babitakapoor]

Thank you for this amazing session. Really enjoyed it!

[momwifesoulyoga]

Great practice!! Thank you for so many new ideas! 💞 when diving forward, is the back straight or rounded?! It wasn't cued and not sure your positioning on backside due to camera angle! Thank you for clarification ☺ 🙏

I’m recovering from ankle surgery and this workout was perfect while I’m laid up in bed.

[Ash_beep]

This was so inaccessible for me. Too many repetitions of the same muscles and now I have horrible cramping in my shoulders and fronts of my legs. I was really hoping to find something to ease back into my active lifestyle as my broken foot is healing but this hurt my foot because I kept needing it for balance after I had to take my walking cast off to do the ankle exercises
and the muscle cramps on top of the frustration (and arthritis pain in my hands to take on and off the boot extra times). Just no. I guess back to lazing around until my foot is healed 😫
