Lesson Plan Description:

Chair yoga is good for all students, not just those with disabilities, weight challenges, inflexibility, or who just cannot get on the floor for whatever reason (such as age or being in a crowded work environment). The chair replaces the yoga mat and becomes an extension of your body allowing you to take full advantage of yoga’s health potential - the integration of body, mind, and spirit.

This lesson plan has over 30 chair yoga exercises. It's good to learn a few of them so that when you find yourself sitting in a chair for longer than 15 minutes without moving (e.g. staring at a computer screen), you can recharge your batteries by practicing a chair yoga pose.
