Chair Yoga for Beginners

Chair yoga is an excellent way to practice yoga for many people who didn't think yoga was possible for them or during periods of recovery. Whether it is because of limited mobility, arthritis, pre or post-surgery, balance issues, or low energy, chair yoga allows people to receive the benefits of yoga while having the chair as a constant companion for support.

In this Chair Yoga for Beginners course, we introduce participants to chair yoga with each class gradually building upon the next.

This course is divided into five different modules:

1. Introduction: How to get started, safety, and general stuff you'll want to know before getting started.

2. Seated Chair Yoga Classes: In these yoga classes, we practice in the chair the entire time.

3. Standing Chair Yoga Classes: In these classes, we typically start and end in a chair but a bulk of the postures are standing, using the chair for support.

4. Hybrid Chair Yoga Classes: In the chair yoga classes, we start and end in the chair but mix it up doing a good portion of the postures seated and the others standing. These are longer classes.

5. How To's: While we review how to do postures in all classes, this section lets you see the different variations and modifications for common postures and transitions you will see in class so you can see different modifications. These are great to simply watch or practice to.

You will get access to our downloadable Chair Yoga Planner and Journal to help schedule and reflect on your practice and a recommended product list.
