Benefits of Chair Yoga for Mobility and Wellbeing 🌿
Chair Yoga is a gentle form of yoga that's perfect for those with limited mobility, those recovering from injury, or anyone looking to practice yoga in a more supported way. It's particularly beneficial for older adults or those who find traditional yoga poses challenging.
Why try Chair Yoga?
- Accessibility: Suitable for nearly everyone regardless of fitness level or mobility constraints
- Improved flexibility: Gently stretches muscles and increases range of motion
- Better balance: Reduces fall risk by strengthening core muscles and improving proprioception
- Stress reduction: Breathing exercises promote relaxation and mental clarity
- Community connection: Exercise in a supportive, social environment
Chair Yoga adapts traditional yoga poses to be performed while seated or using a chair for support when standing. This makes it an excellent option for beginners or those who need additional stability during exercise.
Regular practice can help manage conditions like arthritis, improve circulation, and boost overall wellbeing—all in a gentle, non-competitive environment. The focus is on what you can do rather than what you can't, making it an empowering practice for many Kiwis.
