Chair Yoga for Children through Seniors - Better Health Flexibility and Stress Relief

By Lisa Shea

Welcome! I have been practicing yoga for many years. I've written books on general yoga, ten-minute yoga, yoga in bed, and yoga while traveling. To make life easier for people who depend on balance support, I have now created this book on "chair yoga" specifically for people who need to maintain a stable base while doing yoga.

 

I know that many people with balance issues have trouble getting down to the floor and then getting back up again. For this reason, I'm not including any moves in this book which require getting down onto the floor

 

If you need even further support, please do know that my Yoga in Bed book offers ideas if you need to stay fully on a flat surface (bed or floor). And if you want to venture into unsupported movements, I have two full books on general Yoga and on Ten-Minute Yoga.

 

I hope this book helps you add gentle yoga into your weekly routine. Yoga supports building balance, motor skills, improved mood, better digestion, and much, much more!

 

Namaste.

 

This book Chair Yoga for Children through Seniors is intended to be free on all systems, to help those who are in need of support find a step toward a more contented life. If the system you are currently on requires a charge to download, all author's proceeds will benefit battered women's shelters.

 

This book is a companion piece to my other free books on a full-length yoga routine, a quick ten-minute yoga routine, yoga in bed, and yoga while traveling. Each book provides a different avenue for including yoga in your daily life.

 

Feel free to contact Lisa if you have any questions about her routine - she's happy to help!

I love writing in a variety of genres. I currently have over 300 books published in all lengths from full 500+ page novels down to short stories. I love writing series. Some are with unconnected characters, like the 14 full-length medieval novels with a sword being passed from heroine to heroine. Some have connected characters, like the 31 mini-mysteries featuring a detective in Salem, Massachusetts. All of my books are written "clean" with no explicit intimacy, no harsh language, and no explicit violence. All are suitable for teens and up.

Introduction

Welcome! I have been practicing yoga for many years. I’ve written books on general yoga, ten-minute yoga, yoga in bed, and yoga while traveling. I always considered supported yoga to simply be a normal part of general yoga. People doing general yoga often use walls, foam blocks, chairs, and other supports to ensure their safety.

To make life easier for people who depend on balance support, I have now created this subset book on chair yoga specifically for people who need to maintain a stable base while doing yoga.

If you need even further support, please do know that my Yoga in Bed book offers ideas if you need to stay fully on a flat surface (bed or floor). And if you want to venture into unsupported movements, I have two full books on general Yoga and on Ten-Minute Yoga.

All of these books (in ebook format) should be free on all platforms. I strongly feel that yoga should be available to every person. Yoga is an important way to maintain health, reduce stress, improve sleep, and support a more even mood flow.

If you have multiple of my books, you will find that some sections are consistent through them. I want to make sure my message about yoga doesn’t change each time I approach a different sub-topic.

Other areas, of course, will be very specific to the topic at hand. This book on chair yoga will make sure that every activity I recommend is supported and designed with physical balance in mind.

I know that many people with balance issues have trouble getting down to the floor and then getting back up again. For this reason, I’m not including any moves in this book which require getting down onto the floor. I would suggest, if you want to do prone types of motions, that you look into my bed yoga book. That will let you do those types of motions on a soft surface that is probably easier for you to get on and
