Chair Yoga: Benefits, Accessibility & Tips to Get Started

Today, I want to share something with you...
how chair yoga became my breath of fresh air at a time when my body needed gentle care.

It was during a difficult period. My foot and knee were hurting, preventing me from doing my usual yoga practice. I felt frustrated, stuck. And yet... I discovered something deeply soothing: chair yoga.
Sitting down, breathing deeply, I felt my tension melt away. My spine straightened, my mind calmed down. The best part? All I needed was a chair, 5 to 15 minutes, and my breath.

👉 Chair yoga isn’t just for seniors or those in recovery. It’s a practice for everyone : parents, busy people, office workers, travelers, or anyone wanting to move gently and safely. It’s accessible, adaptable, and filled with kindness.

🌿 What It Brings You

• Immediate benefits : reduced stress and anxiety, improved posture, gentle toning, better blood circulation.
• Backed by science : Studies show that just 8 to 12 weeks of practice can improve muscle strength, flexibility, balance, and even quality of life — even for people with arthritis.
• Totally adaptable : Movements can be adjusted to your level of comfort and pain. No special equipment is needed — just a sturdy chair, maybe a cushion. You can practice 5 to 15 minutes a day, depending on your schedule.

✈️ When I Travel…

I’m always amazed by how grounding it feels to take a mindful moment, even on a hotel chair. No mat needed, no perfect space. My body thanks me, and I feel lighter, more present.
Even far from home, this practice follows me, quietly, faithfully.

💻 A Wellness Break at the Office

If you spend long hours in front of a screen, try this:
Sit up straight on your chair, take three deep breaths, gently lift your arms, tilt side to side… and there it is, your 5 to 15-minute wellness break. A small shift, a big difference.
