It’s common knowledge that an active lifestyle is essential throughout the senior years as well, and yoga can be a great option for this: the chair provides a sense of extra stability and security. If your age or some health problem or injury makes you uncomfortable with the up and down movements of traditional yoga practice, chair yoga is for you.
In this class, yoga poses are modified to allow participants to perform all of the required exercises from a seated position.
Chair yoga is a gentle physical challenge that improves flexibility and range of motion of the joints thus functionality of the body can be preserved. The transition from one pose to another improves coordination, which is an effective safeguard against falls.
Safe and effective poses allow you to maintain muscle mass. The greater force also results in a better balance, which also reduces the risk of falls and injuries.
A smile and a good mood are guaranteed: yoga results in a positive mood and improved mental health. Meditation and breathing exercises learned during yoga classes are also effective tools in pain management.
