Sign up for one week at a time. Chair yoga is a gentle form of yoga that’s done while seated or using a chair for balance. Chair yoga is ideal for beginners who and is a good starting point to use muscles you haven’t used in a while without the potential risks of overloading your muscles and joints or falling. Optional: Bring light hand weights. Chair yoga is particularly well-suited to people who use wheelchairs and those rehabilitating after surgeries, living with chronic illnesses, or dealing with balance issues that make it hard to get down onto a yoga mat. Whether yoga is done in a chair or on the mat, the practice still focuses on the same core principles: focusing on your breath, paying attention to your thoughts, and staying in the moment.
