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.
