Показать описание

Teaching for over 24 years now. Back in 2018, having massive pains in my back. Turns out, some of the yoga postures I was doing was creating more pain for me. I did a big dive into training, to see what I could do to lessen my pain. The chair yoga, the back yoga and the chair tai chi classes that I teach are geared for those who have back pain and want to lessen that pain through movement.

Join me in this Chair yoga routine to assist in lessening aches and pains. Chair Yoga is a form of yoga that modifies the poses so they can be done while seated in a chair. It is suitable for people who have mobility limitations, want a quick break from office work, or need more support and stability. Here are some of the benefits of chair yoga:

* Aligns the spine and improves posture by sitting at the front of the chair with the feet firmly planted on the floor.

* Enforces movement and prevents stiffness by doing different stretches and twists for the neck, shoulders, spine, hips, and legs.

* Convenient and easy to practice in any space that has a chair, such as home, office, park, or airport.

* Improves balance and coordination by using the chair as a prop for standing poses or putting the foot on it for hip work.

* Delivers a passive core workout by engaging the abdominal muscles to maintain stability and alignment while doing the poses.

* Improves circulation and blood flow by moving the limbs and massaging the internal organs.

* Boosts energy and mood by stimulating the nervous system and releasing endorphins.

* Stress reduction and relaxation by focusing on the breath and calming the mind.

* Improves pain management and reduces inflammation by easing tension in the muscles and joints.

* Combats depression and anxiety by increasing self-awareness, self-esteem, and social interaction.

I hope this summary helps you understand the benefits of chair yoga. 🧘
