Chair Yoga for Seniors

Chair yoga makes yoga accessible to those with physical limitations. It allows seniors to stretch every part of the body while in a seated position, especially for those who have limited mobility and risk of fall. It is common that seniors are in pain around one area and then it stops them from doing any exercise for other parts of the body. Chair yoga is ideal for those to stay active and maintain their physical and mental health.

Testimonial from Ann Begg, from Bassendean 55 Plus 
​
Although I have done yoga for 15 years I really enjoyed Rachel’s Chair Yoga sessions. Her gentle manner and clear instructions made the moves really easy to follow. It is a great workout and I would recommend it to anyone who is unsure of their balance or has restricted mobility.
It is also extremely relaxing. Go for it.
​Thanks Rachel.

Chair yoga program at aged care facility

Getting older is amazing - with experience, wisdom and grace. However, ageing also causes anxiety and stress, and other chronic conditions. Incorporating a yoga practice into seniors' daily routine can enhance their better quality of life. Chair yoga is very gentle yet stretch every part of the body. The session is suitable for those living with dementia and comorbidities. These gentle movements reduce muscle stiffness and joint pain. Most importantly, seniors have the opportunity to regulate their breath to reduce stress and anxiety.
