#LiveWholeHealth: Upper-Body Chair Exercise

Practicing yoga in a class is an excellent self-care practice, but sometimes it just isn't possible to grab a mat and head to a studio. Yoga teacher and Whole Health Coach, Katherine Hillgren, from the St. Louis VA Medical Center, suggests that a home practice, like chair yoga, is a suitable replacement in a pinch.

Practicing yoga at home allows one to let go of worries and to-do lists, and is great for peacefully settling into the body. This 18-minute, gentle, upper-body, chair yoga class guides you through a relaxing series of movements. Grab an armless chair and give yourself this gift of yoga and gentle movement.
