THE BENEFITS OF CHAIR YOGA
The benefits of an active lifestyle are highly documented, so it can be incredibly frustrating when age, illness, or injury makes exercising a challenge. Luckily, chair yoga is both safe and effective.
Chair yoga gives you all the health benefits that a normal yoga practice does, including muscle toning, reduced stress levels, better breathing habits, an improved overall sense of well-being, and it can even help you sleep better.
Despite any limitations you may have, chair yoga can help you feel stronger, increase flexibility, the ability to bend, twist, stretch, and to move more freely. It also improves proprioception, this is your ability to accurately sense where your body is in space, with better proprioception your coordination improves and so the risk of falling decreases.
Chair yoga is an ideal exercise for anyone suffering from conditions, such as chronic pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, osteoporosis, and multiple sclerosis. It may also benefit you if you have trouble moving through the up and down motions of traditional yoga, chair yoga allows you to stay safe and stabilized.

Yoga or Pilates?
Did you know they are actually very similar? both help improve posture, lengthen and strengthen the body, help with weight loss, increase flexibility and balance, and improve cardiovascular health, there are also many moves that cross over into both forms of exercise.

Yoga also eases stress and anxiety by focusing on your breath and using it to help you in and out of the poses, it also helps improve other sports like running, cycling, golf and horse riding.

Often yoga is thought to be the easy option! my classes will challenge you physically are dynamic and energetic, you will know you've had a work out after! but the joy of yoga is that you can go at your own pace as there are many different pose variations you can choose during the class depending on how challenged you want to be on any given day, so it is ideal for beginners as well as the more experienced.

If you fancy giving it a try I have a new class just started on Wednesday mornings at 10:15, or Wednesday and Thursday at 6pm (only 3 spaces left for both the evening classes) all classes held in the British Legion Hall, Cadnam.

First class is just £5, leave me a message if your interested or call 07795155118, for more information check out the website;
