Teaching Chair Yoga FAQs

What Shall I Tell A Student If They Are Interested In Chair Yoga?

Chair yoga is suitable for people of all levels of fitness (beginners, intermediate and advanced yogis). You'll discover that chair yoga is more gentle than others, because it is practised sitting on a chair, or standing, using a chair for support, which helps with balance and reduces pressure on the lower joints such as the hips and knees. Even though it's gentle yoga, you still get 100% of the benefits of traditional Yoga.

Is Chair Yoga Only For Seniors, Disabled And The Injured?

If age, disability or injury prevents you from participating in a typical yoga class Chair Yoga could be a style to consider.

Everyone can and should take advantage of Chair Yoga, to experience the benefits of yoga regardless of physical limitations.
