I was introduced to Chair Yoga several years ago when I was having issues with my right hip.
I had trouble participating in regular yoga classes because I wasn’t able to put much pressure on the hip.
But with Chair Yoga, I didn’t have to.
All the poses in this class were practiced sitting in a chair or standing and using a chair for support.
Many of the poses were adaptations of regular Hatha yoga poses.
Chair yoga may sound like it couldn’t possibly provide much of a workout, but I was surprised at how strenuous some of the poses were.
It took a while to get into some of the poses and holding them for several seconds took concentration and strength.
But as I continued going to class each week and practicing the poses, they became easier as I became stronger.
If you have any health issues that make it impossible to practice other types of yoga, maybe Chair Yoga will work for you.
Can’t get out to a yoga class?
