Chair Yoga is suitable for most people, particularly seniors and those with disabilities who are limited from practising conventional Yoga. It delivers similar benefits to the practice of other styles of Yoga and provides people who may otherwise be unable to practice Yoga on the floor, an opportunity to enjoy the physical, mental and spiritual benefits that Yoga has to offer.
You will learn routines you can practise at home between sessions. This empowers you to use the skill youre learning and take responsibility for your development.
I have been on a personal journey with Chair Yoga. It has helped me tremendously when I had a hip replacement and was unable to get down on the floor, releasing many areas of blockage and tightness in several areas of my body. I highly recommend it for all the benefits it can provide.
The benefits of Yoga
Yoga is a science that consists of ancient theories, observations and principles about the mind/body connection, which is now being proven by modern medicine. Substantial research has been conducted to look at the health benefits of Yoga - from the Yoga Postures (Asanas), Yoga Breathing (Pranayama) and Meditation.
The practice of Yoga contributes to the overall health of both mind, body and emotions and allows calm and positive space in hectic modern lifestyles to be at peace.
There are many benefits - physiological, psychological and biochemical, far too many to list here.
