Chair Yoga Poses

Chair Yoga Poses Detail
Usually people will always tell you to get off that couch or chair and get some exercise…but not for this type of yoga! Not formally a yoga but exercises adapted from Hatha Yoga asanas or poses, chair yoga is fast become widespread as a fitness routine aimed at people unable to participate in the traditional forms of yoga due to age or disabilities.
Chair yoga practices a number of yoga poses using a chair as a prop or for seating, in the case of the seated poses. The chair is primarily used to eliminate the difficulty of sitting on or getting up off the floor. This gentle form of yoga is a good way for people with physical limitations like arthritis, multiple sclerosis, carpal tunnel syndrome and hypertension as well as older persons unable to bend and perform complex maneuvers, to derive the many heath benefits of yoga with the practice of this simple yoga.
Unlike other more traditional types of yoga like- Ashtanga Yoga, Hatha Yoga and Iyengar Yoga, chair yoga is not spiritual but purely aimed at the physical and fitness aspects of yoga. It includes postures, exercises, breathing and ways of relaxation with the help of a chair. Apart from just sitting on the chair the chair is sometimes used as a prop to support other parts of the body for certain poses, in this way students with flexibility issues too can use a chair to modify poses until they improve their flexibility gradually.
