BENEFITS OF CHAIR YOGA
Relief from Muscle
Pain and Tension
Perfect for those suffering from chronic pain or looking to prevent future issues. In yoga, we focus on both large and small joints, which helps relieve discomfort and lubricates them, bringing much-needed comfort.
Increased Flexibility
Flexibility is essential for making everyday movements easier. In addition to improving muscle flexibility, it also benefits the joints, ensuring greater mobility for longer.
Improved Circulation
In all yoga practices, we focus on improving circulation, which is essential for distributing minerals and vitamins throughout the body. It also helps reduce swelling and prevents vascular diseases.
Stress and Anxiety Reduction
We start each class with breathing exercises (pranayamas) that help manage stress and anxiety. These exercises activate the parasympathetic nervous system, promoting relaxation and balance.
Increased Muscle Strength
Yoga postures (asanas) activate muscles through isometric exercises, which strengthen the body and help prevent osteoporosis.
Body Awareness
and Coordination
Developing body awareness is essential for improving quality of life and well-being. Yoga helps us better understand our bodies, bringing more comfort and mindfulness to our daily routines.
