Chair yoga mini videos for your home practice!
Week 6
Sitting towards front of the chair, feet comfortably wide, making sure ankles are underneath knees. Lift the arms up overhead, then fold down to wherever is right for you - elbows on knees, hands on shins or all the way to the feel. Then move to the right - again, hands on knees, shin or feet. Return to upright and repeat other side. Flow through a few rounds!
Week 5
A lovely little sequence for the shoulders and back. sitting towards front of the chair, lift the arms up overhead, then take the left arm down to the left leg and slide the hand down to wherever it reaches. Then move into a forward fold. Do the same on the other side! Repeat as often as you like.
Week 4
This week our home practice is a small part of the moon salutation sequence. Stretching into shoulders and arms, gently strengthening hips, thighs and the whole back, side and front of the body; we start with a seated five pointed star, goddess pose and end with a gentle side bend. To set yourself up sit towards the front of your chair, keep the feet firmly planted on the ground - ankles under knees to look after the knee joint.
Moon Salutations are a gorgeously peaceful flow of yoga poses which connect to the cooling, introspective and nurturing properties associated with the Moon in Yoga. Enjoy!
