Chair yoga is a gentle form of yoga that allows you to do poses either seated in a chair or standing while using the chair for support. It incorporates the same core principles as traditional yoga, such as breathing techniques, meditation, and mindful focus. Chair yoga is not just for seniors or those with pain. You can also experience different styles of yoga, such as Vinyasa, Hatha, and Yin, with the chair serving as a tool. The key message is that everyone with any situation and challenge can move, and movement is medicine.

“Chair yoga is ideal for people who:”

• Have limited mobility: Individuals who find it challenging to get on and off the floor.
