by Dorothy Snow (Author)

Looking for a safe and gentle, yet effective yoga practice that doesn't have you performing those "pretzel-like" yoga positions? A practice where you can enjoy all the benefits of traditional yoga while being comfortably supported by a chair?
This Chair Yoga guide has you in mind. If limited mobility or injuries are holding you back from enjoying your body to the fullest, then you owe it to yourself to give this guide a try. It's an amazing way to safely stretch and strengthen your body.
To see if Chair Yoga is right for you, identify any of the following limitations you might have:

• Living with chronic pain...
• Limited mobility due to illness, injury or disease...
• Inflammation in the joints...
• Working at a desk all day...
• Never done yoga before...
• And difficulty standing for long periods of time.

FOR TEACHERS:
Increasingly, people are turning to yoga to help them feel comfortable in their own bodies. As a yoga instructor, you want to be able to offer clientele safe and fun modifications compared to traditional poses. This guide will give you three full-length chair yoga practices, as well as a breakdown of yoga poses. It's a great book for anyone looking to teach yoga to seniors or people with reduced mobility. This is not a certification guide and is simply meant to be educational for yoga teachers who want to expand to new clienteles.
If You're Experiencing Any of These Limitations...
Chair Yoga might be the perfect practice to help you slowly develop balance and stability-while improving strength and flexibility.
People with limited mobility often think yoga is not accessible to them. It absolutely can be. By moving slowly and mindfully, you can open up tight areas of your body in a safe and supportive way.
I walk you step-by-step through each of the poses. My detailed instructions allow you to follow along without having to keep your eyes glued to the book. You can practice at your own pace in the comfort of your home, and you'll get the feeling of being in the studio. It won't feel like you're "missing out" on anything. You'll also find it's more time and cost effective than a regular class.
