Chair Yoga: Seated Exercises for Health and Wellbeing Paperback – Illustrated, October 15, 2011

As a personal trainer and fitness class instructor of "mature" seniors, I found this to be a very practical and effective programming tool for seated classes. My class participants love the variety, the gentle flexibility work, breathe work, and the subtle "brain teasers". The advantage of Chair Yoga for this audience is to make the yoga practice benefits available to those who don't have the strength and balance skill for traditional poses, in a safe environment.Class participants have told me that they thought they were too old to start practicing yoga, but they love this approach.

As a yoga teacher, I have found this detailed and informative for the general reader without becoming too technical. It gives safe, accessible directions for asana and pranayama practice, as well as insight into the other aspects of a fully rounded yoga practice ( lifestyle, diet, meditation) I wholeheartedly recommend this book for those who find the prospect of yoga physically daunting, as well as to all yoga practitioners who will find an array of ideas that can be applied in situations when a full asana practice is not practical.

I already do all the exercises in this book so it was the wrong choice for me. However, it would be great for somewhat who wants to start out very slowly to get the body moving.

I teach Therapeutic Chair Yoga and I found this book to have wonderful, simple to follow exercises that I can recommend to my students for home practice. I always recommend that people work with a certified yoga teacher to learn the correct way to do poses, both for benefit and to avoid injury. This book makes a great companion to a regular class.

This book is so easy to read and understand. The yoga techniques are so easy to do if you are elderly or disabled. It is laid out in a nice, easy way and is very helpful. I am happy to have this book.

This book supplements the class course I recently finished. Until I resume classes in Chair Yoga in September, I will have the book with its easy-to-follow instructions to remind me of the various poses.

2 excellent chair routines, appreciated by frail adults and those seeking a relaxation/breathing oriented chair practice. Some standing poses which are easily adapted for sitting. Numerous "breathe and feel the stretch in your..." breaks will not appeal to those with attention deficits. Not a particularly finessed video production.

Clear and simple instructions and explanations
