The “chair” is a unique tool that can be used for many situations.
Yoga is for everyone, which is why BKS Iyengar introduced the props such as the chair. Students all have different body conditions and challenges in which the chair can be useful when needing to modify. For instance, if mobility or getting up and down from the floor is an issue, this class will help you be able to practice with ease. For those of you sitting at a desk most of your day requiring a much-needed break, you too can find benefit in the chair while in the work environment.
This class focuses on many postures using this chair stability to move into various asanas that will be a relief for the back, create extension through the trunk, activate the legs & arms, and even support you in restorative poses, all without leaving the chair.
Enjoy your practice and continue to be creative to find ways you can bring energy, circulation, and space all while bringing freedom to the body, breath, and mind.
