One big secret to growing older with confidence, dignity and style, is hidden in two words - Chair Yoga.
More than 20% of all yoga enthusiasts are 60 or older, and that number is steadily growing. It's not surprising to see why.
Yoga has a host of health benefits that improve the quality of life of older adults. It strengthens bones, improves balance and stability, enhances flexibility and joint health, and helps with mobility.
As a result, you'll be able to keep moving, stay independent, and continue doing the things you love to do, such as taking a walk outdoors, playing with your grandkids, or traveling the world, throughout your golden years.
An added benefit is the beautiful sense of tranquility that descends on you when doing yoga in any form. It can hone your mind into a level of focus, awareness, and calm, that has a positive knock-on effect on every part of your life.
But if you have physical limitations, you may be wondering if it's possible for you to do yoga.
Not to worry - you can still practice yoga and experience the numerous benefits it has to offer. And you don't need to do anything that's too active or physically challenging either.
There are forms of yoga that are very gentle on your body and easy to do... and you only need a chair to do it.
In this practical and helpful handbook, you will discover:
- A guide to empowering yourself, sharpening your mind, and growing older gracefully, using yoga as your powerful, secret weapon
- What to do and what to avoid when practicing yoga if you have osteoporosis, or recently had an illness, injury, surgery, or a stroke
- How to feel better faster and keep the momentum going by using yoga to significantly improve your mood, and also boost your cognitive processes like memory and focus
- How to reduce anxiety, stress, and overthinking, with easy-to-follow, simple mindfulness exercises and meditations that form an important part of your yoga practice
- Simple yoga poses to loosen your neck and shoulder muscles and relieve any pain and tension you are holding there
- Leg-strengthening exercises you can do sitting down that will help relieve foot pain, increase circulation, and keep you mobile
- Yoga moves to build up arm and hand strength and reinforce your torso and core muscles so that you can grasp, lift, and hold things more easily
- How to easily release tense muscles without having to pay for expensive therapy or massages by using this helpful tool
- 60+ illustrated yoga poses that you can implement right away
- An easy-to-follow 2-week beginners' chair yoga program you can do at home to start off your chair yoga journey
And much more.
None of the yoga movements in this book will require any great muscle strength or mobility. You can do these workouts at home, including exercises for beginners and more advanced practitioners. You can build up each pose slowly, gently, and at your own pace. The exercises are also perfect for group activities.
Yoga is for everyone, and as you continue your practice, you'll find that you're capable of so much more than you think.
Enjoy better health, higher strength, more confidence, and improved mobility with less pain. No matter where you are at, don't give up on yourself.
Keep living life to the fullest with chair yoga.
