The benefits of yoga are well-documented. Flexibility, relaxed muscles, strength and tone, and the sense of calm you gain from doing yoga are great. But many individuals find that they do not have the time in their busy schedule to visit the gym, or even to spend some time in front of the TV with their favorite yoga video.
Although Chair Yoga provides many of the same benefits as traditional Hatha Yoga, it also has the potential to create emotional bonds that improve the quality of life and health of its participants.
Practicing chair yoga can bring the same benefits as a full yoga practice. The idea is that the breathing and awareness practice is the same; we are simply adjusting the poses so that we are more comfortable in them. You can’t really pay attention to your body and connect with your muscles stretching if you are unsteady and afraid to fall over or if you have chronic pain and that is all you can think about
