14-September-2008 12:50:26 - Chair Yoga Seniors practicing chair yoga Seniors practicing chair yoga Chair yoga is the term generally used to describe a gentle form of yoga that is practiced sitting in a chair, or standing using a chair for support. It is not recognized formally as a type of yoga distinct from other types, such as Iyengar Yoga or Ashtanga yoga. However, the poses, or Asanas, are often adaptations of Hatha yoga poses. Frequently the chair yoga student is unable to participate in a traditional yoga class due to the effects of aging or disabilities. Chair yoga classes are sometimes made available at senior fitness centers, retirement facilities, and adult daycare centers. Chair yoga is usually taught as a way to achieve physical and mental fitness, not as a way of life, as are most other yoga classes in the Western world. In that respect it is a more complete exercise than most because it incorporates mation and proper breathing, in addition to the physical exercise. Most people in chair yoga classes have health issues, and many are there because a health care professional that knows about their problems recommended it. A good chair yoga teacher will ask about and be aware of any limitations the student might have. Chair yoga has helped people with the symptoms of many health issues including hypertension high blood pressure, anxiety, chronic fatigue syndrome, arthritis, vertigo medical, multiple sclerosis, carpal tunnel syndrome, clinical depression, and chronic pain to name just a few conditions. Chair Yoga is one of the gentlest forms of yoga available. Although there are many varieties of yoga available, chair yoga is one that most of us can practice. Complicated maneuvers and complex movements are not present in a chair yoga class. The level of motivation that one holds within themselves is what makes them able to get started. Within this type of yoga class, you can cover standing, seated, and prone postures. Most of these classes use the chair only, due to the difficulty of getting down or up off the floor. Chair Yoga classes are often seen in senior centers, people with assisted living lifestyles, nursing homes, adult day care centers, and physical rehabilitation units. Clients can learn many kinds of yoga postures, breathing techniques, mation, and ways of relaxation, with the aid of a chair.
