Chair yoga is a gentle practice in which postures are performed while seated and/or with the aid of a chair. Particularly to assist those with balance issues or anyone who has trouble getting down to and up off of the floor.

Chair yoga allows seniors and those with mobility issues or disabilities to stay active and improve their muscle strength and flexibility without the risk of strain or injury. The gentle slow progression of chair yoga sequences is ideal for those with a limited range of motion

Whether you’re looking to maintain your strength or need to regain muscle mass, chair yoga is a great option for you. There are various poses and flows targeted to loosen and stretch painful muscles, reduce stress, and improve blood circulation

Chair yoga may be the way to go for people:

• With balance issues
• Looking to start slowly
• Who would just feel more confident starting out this way

Chair yoga has the following benefits for older adults:

• Low impact on joints.
• Improves flexibility.
• Stress reduction.
• Improves pain management.
• Improves circulation.
• Combats depression and anxiety.
• Improves balance.
• Promotes independence and wellbeing.

Flow vinyasa is a very popular kind of Yoga and it’s a combination of Hatha Yoga and Ashtanga. Its practice style and difficulty are between the two. Focusing on the perfect combination of body stretch, strength and flexibility, and the concentration of practice. Flow yoga is more like an open practice method. Any yoga posture can be arranged in the sequence of flow yoga. This openness not only makes it easy for practitioners to get all-round exercise, but also increases the variability and interest of practice. At the same time, flow yoga is a practice with clear sense of rhythm. It has the beginning, the most intense and challenging part, and also has a clear ending. It gradually opens up all parts of the practitioner’s body, so that we can enter into the posture that is difficult to do at ordinary times. Through the combination of action and breathing, we can make the whole process as continuous as flowing water. We can feel the fast and slow rhythm match each other. In this process, we can train our softness, muscle endurance, concentration, and most importantly, we can feel the coordination between breathing and body. After a long time, we can feel the fluency brought by Flow Yoga!

It is suggested to have the basis of practicing yoga!
