What is inside this guide

This guide has more active seated moves than a typical chair yoga sheet. It includes seated jumping jacks, high knees, arm raises, leg kicks, side bends and a seated bicycle. These help you move more and burn a few extra calories while staying in your chair.

Who this guide is for

It is for seniors who want a bit more energy in their chair routine and are looking to be more active as part of a healthy lifestyle.

How to use it

Start slowly with 30 seconds per move and rest between them. Build up as you feel stronger.

Safety first

This guide is for general wellness and is not medical advice. Talk to your doctor before starting a new exercise routine, especially if you have pain, dizziness, heart problems or other health conditions. Stop if something hurts.

Common questions

Will chair yoga help me lose weight?

Moving more helps, but weight loss mostly depends on eating habits as well. Our food lists can help with that.

Is it hard on the joints?

The moves are seated and low-impact, but go gently and skip anything that hurts.

How often should I do it?

3 to 5 days a week is a good goal. Rest days are fine.
