Benefits of Chair Yoga for Kiwis of All Ages 🪑✨

Chair Yoga is a gentle form of yoga that's performed while sitting on a chair or standing using a chair for support. This makes it an ideal exercise option for those with limited mobility, recovering from injury, older adults, or anyone wanting a gentler approach to yoga practice.

Why Chair Yoga is brilliant for wellbeing:

• Accessibility: Suitable for people with mobility challenges, including those who use walking aids or have difficulty getting up and down from the floor
• Improved flexibility: Gentle stretches help maintain and increase range of motion in joints
• Better posture: Strengthens core muscles and encourages proper alignment
• Stress reduction: Combines movement with breathing techniques to promote relaxation
• Enhanced balance: Builds stability and confidence in movement
• Social connection: Creates community in a supportive group setting

Chair Yoga adapts traditional yoga poses in ways that allow everyone to experience the benefits of yoga. The practice can help manage conditions like arthritis, balance issues, and general stiffness while boosting overall wellbeing.

Whether you're new to exercise, managing health conditions, or simply looking for a gentle way to move your body, Chair Yoga offers a supportive path to better fitness. Come along to our friendly sessions at New Lynn Community Centre and discover how accessible yoga can be!
