Chair Yoga

Chair Yoga

Chair yoga is a gentle form of yoga that's practised while sitting or with the support of a chair and has gained popularity as an accessible and beneficial exercise option – especially for seniors.

Research shows yoga is linked to decreased levels of stress, anxiety, and depression, lowered cholesterol and blood pressure, improved energy, better sleep quality, less pain, and reduced body mass index. It is believed those benefits extend to chair yoga.

Chair yoga is also a good, safe workout for beginners. Although chair yoga is often promoted as a practice for those who may struggle with a mat practice, anyone can benefit from this type of gentle exercise.
