What is ashtanga yoga?

Chair yoga is a modified form of yoga that is practiced while sitting on a chair or using a chair for support. It is designed to make yoga accessible to individuals who may have difficulty with traditional yoga poses or who have limited mobility, such as seniors, people with disabilities, or those recovering from injuries.

Chair yoga incorporates gentle stretches, modified yoga poses, breathwork, and relaxation techniques, all while utilizing the stability and support of a chair. The chair serves as a prop, providing balance, stability, and assistance to participants as they perform the movements.

The practice of chair yoga offers a variety of benefits, including improved flexibility, strength, and circulation. It can also enhance joint mobility, reduce stiffness, and increase body awareness. Chair yoga is known to promote relaxation, reduce stress, and improve mental well-being. It can be particularly beneficial for individuals with conditions such as arthritis, chronic pain, or limited range of motion.
