Chair Yoga

Covid and lockdown has meant different things to different people. It has provided stressors, but also time for reflection and quiet thought. It has also taken hibernation to a whole other level. While face to face yoga has largely taken a back seat, there is plenty available on-line. Getting used to different routines and modalities has also proven challenging to many. Not least of all our gorgeous ageing demographic, many of whom are not comfortable with and in a lot of cases simply don't have access to a computer, let alone how to use one. Zoom....? Foreign language. I have kept in touch with my Chair Yoga enthusiasts over the past months and the common theme is "we miss moving like we do in class". And being in the high risk category, lock down is even more isolating and lonely for them. I encourage them to remember what they did in class and practice it while sitting in their lounge rooms. They miss the group environment, but I remind them that they will get very rusty if they don't keep moving. Lets not forget those who may be more at risk, and less likely to be socially connected, and reaching out in some small way and letting them know someone is thinking of them.
