Chair yoga might is a great alternative of yoga for those who cannot easily get to the floor. It has evolved to become what is now one of the most accessible forms of yoga available to those of all mobility capabilities.

As the term suggests, it describes a yoga practice which modifies poses so that they can be done while sitting on a chair or standing using a chair for support. Many of the basic technicalities of the postures are kept intact, no matter what the position of the practitioner. While seated on chairs, yogis can do versions of twists, hip stretches, forward bends, and mild backbends.

In addition to a good stretch, chair yoga students can still delight in the other health benefits of yoga, including improved muscle tone, breathing habits, a decrease in stress, enhanced sleep, and a sense of well-being.
