What is Chair Yoga?
Chair yoga is a gentle form of yoga that is practiced sitting on a chair or standing using a chair for support. It is in the process of being recognized formally as a type of yoga distinct from other types. Chair yoga is usually taught as a way to achieve physical and mental fitness and can also be led as a spiritual practice where students can sit and meditate in a comfortable position.
Chair Yoga is one of the gentlest forms of yoga available. Complicated maneuvers and complex movements are not present in a Chair Yoga class. Within this type of yoga class, you can cover standing, seated, and prone postures.
Chair Yoga is a great practice for everyone as it deepens flexibility and strengthens personal body awareness. A good chair yoga teacher will ask about, and be aware of any limitations the student might have. Chair Yoga has helped people with the symptoms of many health issues including: hypertension (high blood pressure), anxiety, chronic fatigue syndrome, arthritis, vertigo (medical), multiple sclerosis, Osteoporosis, Osteopenia, carpal tunnel syndrome, clinical depression, chronic pain and so much more.
Chair Yoga classes are often seen in senior centers, people with assisted living lifestyles, nursing homes, adult day care centers, and physical rehabilitation units but is becoming more mainstreamed as a deep physical Yoga practice that uses the support of the chair for a variety of purposes. . Clients can learn many kinds of yoga postures, breathing techniques, meditation, and ways of relaxation, with the aid of a chair.
