Here are three reasons this type of yoga is great for those with mobility issues. 1. It can be adapted according to your abilities In chair yoga, traditional yoga poses are modified so they can be performed in a seated position. This means you can complete an entire workout without needing to stand or lower yourself to the floor. Each movement can be executed at your own pace and cus- tomized based on your physical limitations. 2. It can improve your strength and balance There are many chair yoga poses that gen- tly put your balance and co-ordination to the test. These movements will help strengthen your muscles and improve your health. Chair yoga teaches your body to adapt to instability, which can help prevent falls and injuries in your daily life. 3. It can give you a con� dence boost Do you feel unsteady or unsure when you move due to age, illness or a loss of mobility? Chair yoga is an opportunity to rediscover your body's capabilities in a safe environment and regain confidence in your movements. Are you intrigued? Then pull up a chair! Many seniors' residences and community cen- tres offer chair yoga courses. Plus, once you've learned the poses, you can do them pretty much anywhere. (NTB)
