chair yoga

Sitting flexibility practice

Chair yoga is a modified form of yoga practice performed while seated in a chair or using a chair for support during standing poses.

It adapts traditional yoga postures for people with limited mobility, balance issues, or difficulty getting down to the floor—common in senior centers, offices, and rehabilitation settings.

The physical therapist recommended chair yoga after her knee surgery.
