Chair/Gentle yoga

Chair yoga is a modified version of traditional yoga, designed to be accessible for people of all ages and abilities, especially those with limited mobility or balance. It involves practicing yoga poses while sitting in a chair or using the chair for support. This makes yoga more gentle and allows individuals to reap the benefits of increased flexibility, strength, balance, and relaxation.
