Yoga, when modified for seniors, brings an array of health benefits. For those with limited mobility, chair yoga becomes an excellent alternative to enjoy yoga's benefits without putting too much pressure on joints and muscles.

Chair yoga poses include leg lifts, overhead stretches, twisting poses, and much more. These poses increase flexibility, improve muscle tone, balance, and coordinate, while also enhancing mental clarity and reducing stress levels.

Chair yoga also promotes mindfulness - an essential aspect that allows seniors to build a deep connection between their mind and body, improving overall well-being. Being less strenuous, it serves as a starting point for senior individuals who are new to yoga and want to transition into more advanced poses gradually.
