Chair Yoga doesn’t dilute yoga. It refines it — distilling the essence of classical postures into functional, manageable forms that build strength, stability, and awareness without floor-based work.

 

✴️ A Legacy of Adaptability: From Iyengar Yoga to Modern Therapeutics
 

B.K.S. Iyengar, a renowned Indian yoga teacher, revolutionised modern yoga by emphasising alignment and therapeutic use of props.

He pioneered the use of chairs and props to support students with injuries or health conditions, making yoga more widely accessible long before inclusivity was a mainstream concept.
 

Chair Yoga builds on that legacy — offering a respectful, adaptable movement system for those who may not feel seen in group classes or traditional yoga spaces.

Today, it is used in hospitals, rehabilitation centres, and private practice to support strength, autonomy, and recovery.

 

🌀 What You Can Expect in a Private Chair Yoga Session
 

Each private session is customised based on your needs, health history, and movement preferences.

You’ll move at a pace that supports ease and safety, with time for rest, adaptation, and guided breathwork.
 

Sessions may include:
 

• Seated and Supported Movement
  Gentle yoga poses using the chair for stability — no floor work involved.
   

• Breath Awareness (Pranayama)
  Breathing practices to ease tension, calm the nervous system, and improve energy.
   

• Mobility and Postural Work
  Stretches and strength-based movements to support posture, joint health, and circulation.
   

• Balance and Coordination
  Chair-assisted practices to improve steadiness and body awareness.
   

• Adaptations for Comfort
  All props and variations are offered to suit your body’s unique structure and needs.
   

Whether you’re seated throughout or combining standing and seated work, the emphasis is on safe, functional movement that supports your long-term health.

🙋 Who Chair Yoga Supports
 

Chair Yoga is ideal if you're looking to move more comfortably, safely, and with personalised support — especially if group classes have felt overwhelming or out of reach.

You may find this practice helpful if you:
 

• Experience limited mobility, balance issues, or coordination concerns
   

• Are recovering from injury or surgery and need a gentle reintroduction to movement
   

• Feel fatigue, pain, or stiffness that makes floor-based exercise difficult
   

• Are navigating stress, anxiety, or nervous system sensitivity
   

• Prefer guided movement that’s tailored to your pace, comfort, and goals
   

Whether you’re starting again after a long break or simply seeking a practice that feels more accessible, Chair Yoga offers a respectful, non-intimidating way to return to movement — on your terms.
