Benefits of Chair Yoga
Relieves muscle pain and tension
Ideal for those who suffer from chronic pain or want to prevent problems. In yoga, we work on large and small joints, which relieves and lubricates them, bringing comfort.
Increased flexibility
Flexibility is essential for making everyday movements easier. As well as improving muscle flexibility, it also helps the joints, ensuring more mobility for longer.
Improved blood circulation
In all yoga practices, we focus on circulation, which is vital for distributing minerals and vitamins throughout the body. It also helps to reduce swelling and prevent vascular diseases.
Reducing stress and anxiety
We start each class with breathing exercises (pranayamas), which help to control stress and anxiety. This activates the parasympathetic nervous system, bringing relaxation and balance.
Increased muscle strength
Yoga postures (asanas) activate the muscles through isometry, strengthening the body and helping to prevent osteoporosis.
Body awareness and motor coordination
Developing body awareness is essential for quality of life and well-being. Yoga helps us to understand our bodies better, bringing more comfort and presence to our daily lives.
