What is CHAIR YOGA?
Chair based Yoga is great for maintaining balance, strength, mobility, breath and body awareness.
Accessible for all regardless of age, body or experience.
Cannot get down (or up) from the floor, chair or bed due to age, disability, inflexibility, or injury?
Want to practice yoga where getting down to the floor is impractical (at work, travelling, etc.)?

IMPORTANT PLEASE READ: make sure you have a chair that suits your height (your feet easily touch the ground but your knees are not too high), has a supportive back rest and is stable enough that you can use to support your weight and balance if you stand.
