Me and Chair Yoga
The first time I came into contact with the yoga chair was during the RYT200 teacher training. The teacher required that in addition to class study, there must be N hours of after-school practice (I forgot the exact time), and all yoga studio courses were open.
At that time, Iyengar Yoga was specially selected for several classes. Iyengar would use a large number of assistive devices, such as yoga bricks, yoga ropes, yoga blankets, and yoga chairs…etc.
However, the use of yoga chairs in Iyengar Yoga is slightly different from the use of ordinary Chair Yoga. At that time, I thought it would be easier with the assistance of a chair, but no! Even more tired~~~
However, the Chair Yoga I will introduce today is mainly about soothing stretching and relaxation!

Yoga chairs usually adopt a backless design, which is suitable for more stretching and sitting exercises. The design principle is different from ordinary chairs. It does not have any sharp corners or heavy metal, and is easy to fold and store.

For exercises that can be performed at any time in the office or at home, an ordinary chair can be used instead. Although some movements cannot be completed, an ordinary chair is enough for the basic postures.

For Chair Yoga, you can use a special yoga chair to perform many auxiliary movements, but you don’t have to use a yoga chair. A chair at hand will do, but you must choose a sturdy, comfortable, and stable chair, so one with wheels underneath. The chair doesn’t fit.
When doing each pose, make sure your buttocks are firmly seated and sit slightly forward without leaning on the back of the chair, but without affecting the overall stability.
