Chair yoga
~ Chair yoga is a gentle and accessible form of yoga in which most exercises are performed seated on a chair, allowing older adults with limited mobility to participate safely and comfortably.
​
~ Chair yoga can support:
improving mobility and flexibility, supporting balance and coordination, reducing tension and restlessness, deepening the breath, and promoting relaxation, vitality, and overall wellbeing.
​
~ Chair yoga sessions can be organized in care homes, residential facilities, community centers, or senior groups, and are always carefully adapted to the needs and abilities of the participants.
Chair yoga for seniors
