Chair yoga is a gentle form of yoga stretching that is practiced sitting on a chair or standing using a chair for support.
There are no complicated maneuvers, just simple movements. All you need to participate are comfortable clothes that allow you to breathe fully. This is a great practice for everyone. Chair yoga improves flexibility. It may help with the symptoms of many health issues, including hypertension (high blood pressure), arthritis, vertigo, multiple sclerosis, osteoporosis and chronic pain
