- Chair Yoga invites you to find mobility in a way that is soft and gentle but also really supportive and beneficial. This 17 minute practice invites awareness and integrity into the body, specifically the line of the spine. Activate the muscles that help you find length up through the spine for better posture and energy flow. Great Yoga For Seniors as well!

I'm partnered via FB with a friend 2,000 miles distant. We're trying this program to challenge our sedentary life style. I'm 87; she's in her late 70s. Will try to stay with the program!
That’s so great John Hutchinson; keep each other moving!!!
Keep at it! I think this is wonderful
bravo to you and your friend!
Super cool! Good luck to you guys! Keep moving :)
I love this so much! You can do it!
Hi, Adriene! I am an 81 year old woman. I have been doing your chair yoga routine for a few days. I find that when I'm done I feel very relaxed. This routine is giving me more strength and allowing me to move better. I even breathe better. Thank you so much for this video, you have made a real difference in my life.
☺️
You certainly don't look 81
I am 54, but my doctor recommended this chair yoga with Adrienne due to my numerous illnesses and sedentary lifestyle. This shouldn't be called for seniors maybe newbies or easy yoga. This is great in many ways!!!! Thank you.
I am 43 and this is perfect for me :)
As a person with a disability I appreciate the modifications. There isn't enough yoga out there that is tailor made for people with physical challenges which is a challenge without being impossible. This is perfect. Thank you!
Have you found any other videos or channels that are good for that? I'm disabled too, and I used to love yoga but I can't do much standing up any more, hence this video.

Hi Adriene, I’m a 47 year old morbidly obese disabled woman, suffering with osteoarthritis and other ailments. I used to be exceptionally fit so it’s very difficult to accept that I am in this state. I’ve had several ops on my lower limbs, ankles and knees after an injury walking and running a few years back. Ive tried in vain to partake in physio sessions on line etc but never felt any benefit. My daughter does Yoga with you each day and due to the lockdown I’ve heard your voice talking in the background. I found it so easy to listen to and so sincere. My daughter suggested I check out your sessions to see if any suitable. I have just done two of them !!! I’m doing the chair ones and hope to build up to doing the more complex ones. I feel amazing. Not felt this energised in years. I’m overwhelmed. Thank you so much. You don’t know how much you’ve helped me. Xxxx
I'm in the same situation so I'm excited to see if I can do these chair exercises. I've been in chronic back pain for 15 yrs and I recently had a fall so I've been hardly able to get out of bed.
Thank you for sharing your story. You are in inspiration. ❤️
I thought senior yoga, thats not for me, but of course it is, I still think of myself as young in my head, even though I’m 73. Thumbs up to all you 70 years olds and dare i say it 80 year olds out there and everyone else who is a “young at heart” yogi. Thankyou, Adrienne for some interesting moves 🙏 💕
This made me smile ☺️ Age is just a number! Namaste 💛
I am young at heart, but my brain 🧠says otherwise 👎to my body. There are certain things I just cannot do anymore. Like lying on the floor w/o getting dizzy ,🤪 not to mention getting up!! 🥵😄 I started one at my local rec center and there a various ages, some younger and other considerably older and bless them, I hope I can keep up with MY seniors. 💖 I love this daily practice. Thank you.🧘♀
@@Jada-vz3ie keep at it, it will get easier, well done to you🫶💕
@Jada-vz3ie ,
Go have your ears checked! I was getting momentarily dizzy when changing to lying down or getting up, and it turned out to be something to do with my inner ear crystals being out of place. The audiologist did a test to see how I did with some physical changes and I was "positive", so she and a helper put me through a series of movements (easy, not painful or challenging) designed to get the crystals back into place. It worked! In minutes, I walked out and haven't been dizzy since!
Wonderful! Namaste
I had started yoga with Adriene during the Pandemic and my fight with cancer. It helped with my physical and spiritual strength. Thank you!
Thank you for reminding me to love and appreciate my body. I will soon be 78 and I don't always remember to be grateful for all of the life events my body has seen me safely through.
I am 58, overweight and have never done yoga before. I tried the beginners routines, but right now I just don't think I'm ready for floor work yet. I found this challenging enough. Hopefully one day, I will be able to move to a regular yoga practice.

I’m 67 and been following Adrien for years now .
This was the first chair yoga ever for me . The arthritis in my hands makes it super painful to do down dogs and flow when using hands for bearing weight so painful.
I just loved this chair practice and found that comfortable healthful feeling of breath and movement in equanimity .
Even on a Chair!
Thank you
Much gratitude
July 2023 hi, I always did your regular on line class, then broke my femur in a fall, this chair yoga is ideal to strengthen my body and granularly get back into yoga….thank you so much and looking forward to joining you every day…..I’m 78 years old.
I had to modify with sitting on the mat and also standing poses since I do not have a chair this time around. Felt good to adjust. Adriene's previous instructions served me well.
Refresh day 6. 549 days in a row.
Blessed Beloved William! It's great to connect with you on the virtual mat. I didn't want to bring a heavy leather chair upstairs to the loft. I made an adjustment too. I used my sturdy beauty stool. Namaste and Ase! 🦋❤🦋
What matters!
@@williamb7275 Indeed!
Hi Adriene. I am also 81, and have followed you this morning for the first time. I hope to continue as my resolution for 2024. Thank you
Hey! I am a Yoga teacher and Ayurvedic Practitioner and I know how important Yoga is for everyone- but it seems to complicated for many Seniors that have never done Yoga before, so they want to write it off. My Senior Citizen Dad, is having some heart issues right now and I know that beginning to connect with his breathe, with his body, stretch, relax, calm, ground, enjoy... he will begin to bring balance to his life. I am not able to be with my Dad now- but I am grateful I can send him this video, that is very similar to how I would want to give my Dad a class... with a lot of positivity and love. You are just a beautiful woman, and I love your energy. Thank-you for this minute gift- the time, and the postures are perfect to just feel a little lighter, yet grounded.
Go see him or you will regret
39-year-old son trying to help his 77-year-old mum improve her range of motion after an illness. I tried this routine myself today, and it's actually pretty challenging. I like how Adrienne modifies the moves, but she doesn't pander. Mum has asked that I leave it open for her in a tab, so I'm really hopeful she'll give chair yoga a try.
I also found the beginner one too hard but this one and the Gentlle Yoga for Seniors is just right. Some more like these please. I am 57, not strong or flexible and LOVING your classes. I like the way you don't hurry. Thank you so much Adriene.
Called yoga
Adriene I can't even put into words how special this practice is 🙏🏻 my partner is mentally disabled & has mobility issues. He always loves listening to you when I'm doing yoga but taking part isn't possible for him....until now! This is perfect & the timing couldn't be better 🥰 I'm going to get him to try it out tonight. He needs some calmness right now & I think this will help 💜
So beautiful. Thank you so sharing this Shelly!
With today's practice I'm entering year three of daily YWA practices. It shows me that even though I'm in my thirties, I can maintain this wonderful habit for many more years to come ❤️ Namaste to all of you who are keeping me company on this incredible journey 🙏🏼
Awesome 🥰 I've dabbled with yoga most of my life from being a little girl in the 70s and finding a book at my Granny's. However I didn't make it a daily commitment until last year. I'm now encouraging my grandaughter to practice daily, as if there is one piece of advice I could give anyone it would be to start early enough to already have that strength and flexibility as well as mindset before you get to an age where you need it. I don't believe in regret but if I did this would be my only one 💞
First time with you and I like it. 82.5 year old getting her health together after being pretty down for a few years. Thank you for your inspiration.
After having 3 surgeries in 2 years, I found myself at 200lbs and totally sedentary, I didn't know how to even start to move. Your videos are perfect and I am gaining momentum. Thank you!
Day 6 of REFRESH. I am loving this daily practice that I started in January. What a beautiful way to strengthen emotionally, physically and spiritually. Thank you dear Adriene❤️
After seeing the title in April 2021 calendar, for a hot minute I thought it was gonna be 17 minutes of chair pose and was, like, I am NOT excited. But this.. this was nice and gentle. Kept smiling throughout.
I loved this practice. I turned 40 this year and I've been reckoning with my fading youth. This was a beautiful reminder that there will ALWAYS be options for joyful, supportive movement.
I have to admit at first I was thinking "Why should I do yoga for seniors? I am no senior!" but when I did it, it was marvelous. What a wonderful practice. I could totally see me doing it with my grandma or mother, but alas, the former is no longer on this earth and the latter I had to cut ties with. It's a bummer and quite upsetting tbh. I hope there will be more accessible practices like this in the future either way so that older and or physically limited yogis can participate :) (Of course you can always modify the other practices, but I thought it was nice that this is the other way round!)
Oh my god, I had the EXACT same thought process : be reluctant because I'm not a senior, then enjoy it, then imagining doing it with my grandma. I'm sure you'll find people in your life, related or not, that will love to practice with you :) Namaste !
Chair yoga is so good for seniors, but also for traveling, when you don't want to get down on the floor! Thank you so much Adriene. Please more chair yoga.
Hello Claire, how are you doing?
Who knew warrior 2 and forward fold on a chair could feel so good? Thanks Adrienne. 🙏
Hi Adrienne x I am in Brisbane Australia and have been doing your 30 day plan with hubby since is so in March. I am 53 and have rheumatoid arthritis since 6ys old in all joints and polymiositis since 19yrs. My husband also has arthritis. It has been awesome journeying together with you 39 days but u have difficulty in most of your moves and try to adapt where I am at. My husband has again much flexibility and says we don't yell out as much in pain! Today pressed for time hubby went straight to his computer to work. I took opportunity to do your chair yoga. I feel G o o d! Muscle weakness and wastage limited a couple of moves but generally I could do it! Will continue with yoga with my honey, also do chair on my own. Thanks lovely xx
Just found you Adriene, I am 56 yrs old and had to start moving again. I am primary caregiver to my 89 yr old Mom with Dementia so unable to leave her alone to go to classes. My Husband just renovated our basement to give me an exercise room/ craft room. Did your beginner video 3 days ago and then the day 1 of the 30 day yoga...couldn't finish day 2😢 but found this chair yoga for seniors and did that instead...LOVE IT. Going to look for more chair yoga videos by you. Thank you so much for giving me a reason to exercise again...feels soooo good❤🥰🇨🇦Sharon.
this is a great practice! thanks so much. as a "32 year old" senior, who's also been practicing daily...I found this rich and beneficial! went so well with a few days ago yoga for humility. Thanks, Adriene! And way to go community!!
Dirty feet please use mat lol 😂
Day 28 Renew, first time doing yoga on chair! Interesting experience! After doing yoga for nearly 4 months everyday this seemed quite easy but I realized that it is possible to help your body even when can't be mobile! Namaste!
Wonderful! I am doing this with my 85-year-old mother. First time she’s ever done any kind of yoga. The practice almost brought me to tears! What a blessing you are, Adrienne, and we are thankful that you have found your calling!
I'm not a senior, but recently injured my foot which stopped my yoga practice in its tracks! I'm finally feeling up to some very gentle yoga again (off my foot) and this was so perfect. Namaste, Adriene ❤
MORE chair yoga please!! would love to see one with sun salutation.. this is not only for seniors!! I have been hooked on chair yoga for a few months and bought my own chair last week... I find this a very grounding practice and would love to see some downward dogs and planks and more, more, more!!!!!! Thanks Adrienne... you are the reason I have stuck with yoga for over a year. I usually fizzle out with my exercise regimens but you are so innovative and soothing to listen to. I wish you much love. Thank you and Namaste.
G.
I am so happy to have given this class a chance! I really wanted to use my rug today, but I followed my heart and trusted Adrienne. This was wonderful and made me humble again. Yoga for all ages is so important! Thank you Adrienne 💛
My first chair yoga class. I did yoga regularly over 100 lbs. and 40 years ago as a college student. This is a wonderful reintroduction. I'll be back.
Dear Adrienne I am close to 71. I have no problem in mobility but I love this Yoga practice as explained by you. I thank you so much 🙏
I am recovering from total knee joint replacement here in New Zealand and found this video awesome. Thank you
May you have a speedy recovery!
78 years old, both hips replaced. A brand new year and this will be a brand new ME! My sincere thanks to Adriene for guiding me through my very first yoga session. I will be back!
Hello Helen, how are you doing?
I'm visiting my octogenarian parents who live 1800 miles away from me, and Mom overheard the Yoga Camp video that I was practicing with several days ago. She used to be super athletic and active but has slowed down since the pandemic (her gym closed for 2 years, Dad became completely dependent, she had a fall or two that scared her, and hard things like that.). She said "oh that sounds wonderful! Can you email me one of her videos so I can try it on my Ipad?" So I went to the FWFG Kula and posed the question to my Homies there, since Mom is scared to get on the floor now (and no one is usually here to help her up if she gets stuck there). The group gave me several wonderful suggestions and I'm super grateful! This is the first on she tried (today and with me) and she enjoyed it. Dad even told us afterwards that he was doing the breathing parts in his wheelchair in the next room! So THANK YOU! I hope Mom keeps practicing. Adriene, you're an angel for making this one, and please make more for elderly folks with limited mobility (in your free time...hahaha, jk)! It would be amazing. You're really the best one out there in Online Yogaland. Thank you so so much for making so many of our lives so much better and more full of love and joy (and air! and stretches!). We love you, Sister. ❤️ Peace and happiness and great health to you.
I'm so grateful for this practice Adriene. I'm 6 montsh post double knee replacement and your gentle instruction and permission to go slow is really helping me to return some movement to a very sore body... thank you xx

Intention : feel wonderful today
When I decided to have a healthy lifestyle I choose yoga practice as my exercise routine because I know I am able to do it even until I am in my senior years. And I feel wonderful I am able to commit to the practice which changed me body, mind and soul.
Thank you Adriene
See you all tomorrow
Namaste🙏🏼
Greetings SophieAnne! It's nice to see you on the virtual mat again. That's a great intention. Namaste and Ase! 🦋❤️🦋
Thank you
Refresh April 2022, and still loving every single day of it. This may have been called chair yoga, yoga for the elderly….but at 37 years old, this was as soothing and enjoyable as any of the other wonderful sessions. If anything, I had a straighter back and stronger in warrior pose in a chair than ‘normally’. Awesome. Thank you.
Hi 👋🏾 Rona! Nice it's nice to meet another yogi on the Refresh Journey! I also felt soothed after the session. Best wishes! Namaste and Ase! 🦋♥️🦋
@@zuriwilson-seymore8939 hello there! Yes I think I've seen your name on here before (similar to mine!). Lovely to think others practice at same time x
@@ronawilson6955 It is pretty dope to practice at the same time.
@@zuriwilson-seymore8939 definitely!

I was diagnosed in September with MS. I changed my diet drastically and have made it a point to be more active -as much as possible with a limited ability. My wife suggested looking for chair yoga videos. I’ve enjoyed yoga for years and it never occurred to me that this could be done from a chair.
Every morning since my diagnosis I’ve taken to beginning my day with one of your videos.
Thank you. Thanks for the time and effort you put in to making these. Thank you for your gentle and calming voice and tone. Thank you for just all of it.
Gonna keep up with this and somehow -still don’t fully know how, I’m going to get this into remission permanently.
Thank you. This is great not only for seniors but also those who are recovering from lower body injuries/surgeries, etc.. I just had my third ankle surgery and really enjoy this.
I really appreciated this on a new level. I never practiced this session before and did it today to catch up on Renew 2021. This made me think about alot of reasons why doing yoga is so important for all. Adapting poses to fit people who are unable to move flexibly, is such an inclusive and living shout-out. 💚🙏🏻
Hello Amy, how are you doing?
I am 65 years old and this was my first experience with yoga. Thank you for making it so I feel like I can do this and I did. Your teaching gave me a lot of hope. Thanks again! Blessings my friend!
As a senior I have very little flexibility and a bad back. I just started Chair yoga -yoga for seniors in the hope that it will help my back issues. I then hope to move on to other exercise videos with Adriene
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK! My grandma is suffering from Dementia and her doctors are encouraging her to do yoga, but she is too nervous to go to the gym. Now I can do the videos with her at home where she's comfortable :).
Perfect!
my dad is traversing down dementia drive- esp since my mom died in April- anything to get the blood flowing will be beneficial-
@@missellendiane Try BLACK SEED OIL. Clinical studies show it can cure Alzheimers, as well as Cancer, Addiction, Hormonal Imbalance..... EVERYTHING..... It brings STRENGTH to both Body and Mind.. You need a quality brand like Sweet Sunnah. I could go on and on and on about the Miracles of Black Seed. Everyone should take it, every day for their life, unlike many herbal 'treatments', which need to be rotated and the body rested between courses. Good Luck!!! XOX
@@binnahboo5977 I will investigate further- thank you so very much-
@@binnahboo5977 Do we drink it daily/use it to massage?
I had never done this one. Seems simple but occasionallly you are reminded that you are doing a yoga sequence. Do not be discouraged. Enjoy!
Renew day 28. 206 days in a row.
Agreed, I didn’t think I’d enjoy this practice, and I did. I’m glad I stayed open to it.
Excellent session Adriene. I hope to be back to full yoga soon but this is a great halfway house. Thanks. 😊
Adriene, Thank you for this program. I especially love your gentle adaptations to moves that may not work for everyone. I am a new fan. Your program is now a lovely addition to my daily schedule.
I’m an RN at a skilled nursing facility. I’ll have to modify A LOT, but I’m excited to use ideas from this when I bring chair yoga to my residents next Sunday
This was a whole new experience for me. I love the chair as a prop. I felt so stable and confident. This was one of my the most favourite exercises. Thank you, Adriene. You're doing an awesome job, day by day.
I'm Marilyn's godson Michael...I started your 30 days of Yoga mid March and transitioned to April's Nurture schedule. I've referred her to your page for senior exercises because I have faith in the restorative effects of what you do. Thank you Adriene...and thank you community!
Hi Adriene saw your chair yoga video for the first time today. I'm a 79 yr old male I joined the Nanaimo,BC hospital pain program for my lower back pain. I really enjoyed your video and plan to practice your yoga more often.
I have to mention how this video helped me. I used to cycle 100 or more miles a week (indoors and outdoors). Suddenly I was hit with what doctors called a back problem. I was unable to bike or even walk without pain. This went on for almost three years. During that time I discovered your videos. I would do this one almost every day until finely my condition worsened to the point I was barely walking. Two hip replacements later I’m back doing this workout. I credit your videos with keeping me from losing it during the bad times. I’m working to get back on the bike. I still use this video for a cool down. Thanks for producing your videos. I’m sure they have helped many people.
I tried 2 of your other practices, the one for beginners, but found it too difficult. I have artificial knees and it's just too much. I didn't want to give up because my heart says "try yoga, try yoga". I finished this one just now, I'm proud of myself that I did it. I will do it again and again because I want to be "well". I'm overweight and 59 years old, this video will get me started. Thank you so much for having this available. God bless.
My mom is in the same boat as you. I'm gonna show her this comment. Godbless ans I hope your doing well
Congrats! Progress not perfection!
God Bless You If My Yoga Instructor Was here from The Citrus Memorial Hosptial YMCA of Citrus County She would say to do what you can. Take it easy. Do what you can and also share with your mom the same thing there were various in my class with the same situation as you and I I am on a wheel chair but through the Grace of God I gradually do what I can and I accomplish a lot God Bless You I Pray I helped Amen!

Thanks for sharing Deborah- I notice that this post was approx 1 year ago. Currently during COVID19 - this was my first time doing this one- like you, similar age and weigh, way more than I like - love Adrienne's modifications and encouragement - like you, it went well for me and I think this will become a go to practice for me.
Hello, Adriene! I am an 81-year-old and tried your chair yoga for the first time today! This felt so good and appears to be exactly what I need! Thank you so very much!
I was paying for a program that offered chair yoga. Then I found this. I stopped the monthly fee for the other, because I need to cut expenses. I enjoyed this session, and will do more with you. I so enjoyed it.
Im not a senior, I'm not in a wheelchair, I'm just lazy as s*** and this is all I could motivate myself to do today 🙄 😂❤️
Sometimes, it's okay if all you did was wake up and get out of bed. Let yourself have a rest day. You deserve it ❤️
This practice has been a saving grace. I was really bummed when I tore my proximal hamstring tendon. I did yoga every single day (I was on day 90). I still miss my usual practices but I'm so grateful for this while my hamstring recovers!
Thank you. My first time trying chair yoga. Trying to " come back" from heart issues/surgery. Looking forward to this as a daily practice. Much gratitude.
Very relaxing. at 76 I always used to do yoga but ankles and feet are not loving the normal yoga …so Thankyou I will do this regularly now.
Renew Day 28: My take-away from this practice is that even when I'm sitting in a chair there are stretches I can do. I was surprised to find that there's even a warrior pose in chair yoga!
The supported warrior pose was AWESOME!! It made me actually feel a lot better about doing yoga even though I've dealt with things like knee injuries! This can still be for me!
I really liked this practice. I accidentally ended up hurting my lower back at a previous yoga practice and i now can bearly move. But this felt really amazing and i could almost do all the positions
I’m reviewing this for a 74 year old new friend, half through I had an epiphany if I’m lucky enough to be alive in 30 years I will be doing yoga! Hell yea! Take that fear of aging!
Thank you
Thank you. My ego would not allow me to do chair yoga even though I've been in so much physical pain the last few months. Today I finally let go and did this practice. My body was thanking me and I ended in tears. I needed this so badly. It's exactly where I need to be right now. I so appreciate you. ♡ 🙏
Refresh 2022: Working through some nausea and tight hips today. Grateful to have a more easeful practice as I navigate discomfort.
Feel better soon 💞
Badly twisted my ankle 5 days ago and slowly easing back into yoga practice. Not able to put a lot of weight on the ankle but with the help of the chair was able to ‘ sit it all out’ haha. Also my ribs hurt from the fall I made so keeping my self upright whilst breathing deep really helps me a lot. Also helps me accepting my injury and not cursing myself for it.
I recommend everyone who ‘stumbled’ upon this practice without much former yoga experience, to seek out Adriene’s other classes on CZcams especially the Foundations. It changed my 50+ life. Really. 💕
I am 62 and was recommended to try Senior Chair Yogo from my VA Health Coordinator physician. I have only tried a few but watched many of them. I found Adriene to be my favorite. I can do many or her stretches even with my limitations. I just wanted to thank Adriene.
Hello! I have been enjoying your videos for a year or so now. You are a terrific teacher! Mom (78 years young) and I are traveling and didn't bring our yoga mats. We have been missing our daily yoga, but just remembered chair yoga and were so pleased to find that you have a great session of it! it was a great way to start our day. Chair yoga can be travel yoga!! Thanks for being AMAZING!!
THANK YOU! I never knew you could do yoga without pain! I'd been doing yoga for 7 years, but I have painful arthritis, and sitting cross-legged is so painful that I quit. I tried your Beginner's Yoga to get back into it, liked it, but my knees protested. This is much easier on my body. Thanks for making this available.
Our daughter, an RN turned us on to your video last week. We plan to do this 3 times a week. It feels good. We are 74 & 81 years young.
Thankyou for your video. I'm a youngster at 64, though after a lifetime of emotional blockages, I feel like I'm 54 after just one session watching this set of exercises.
Who thought that a morning yoga chair would be so good? I really liked this! Refresh day 6, day 15 for me 💕
Keep it up! Daily yoga practice is SO nourishing!
@@carolynpottschmidt4937 I can already see a difference in my mood! Yoga is amazing 😍
Renewing day 28 :) Thank you Adriene ❤️
A very humbling practice today. Wasn't feeling the best about myself and would've loved a hard-hitting fully body/core workout, but needed to trust the April 2021 journey and give my body a break. Beautiful practice for everyone and every body!
Thank you for this. I started this years 30 day Move Journey, and now my foot is in a boot, so I am sticking with the challenge, by doing your chair yoga👍🏼🙏
An amusing and relaxing change to regular sessions. Gracias 💕🕉️🌺
Thank you for this offering. I am a psychotherapist and lead chair yoga for my clients in my office, which is seated in a chair. In addition, as a yoga teacher, I instruct clients who have some physical limitations. Thank you for bringing this video to the masses!
I'm glad you approve. Lol. My brother in law is a psychologist. I've been sick for many years (I'm 31. Sick since 23) he recently told me I should try a psychotherapist. Didn't know it existed).
First time...this 70 y/o was not perfect but definitely enjoyed the practice as we get ready for a trip to Iceland this Fall. Thank you!
I wanted to skip doing yog today then thought about doing chair yoga Ive never done it before and I'm so surprised of how much I loved it it was so calming and gentle so glad I did it thank you so much
Thank you so much for trhis sequence. My sister is 80 and has bad arthritis in her back and hips, but she can do this. More yoga for seniors would be awesome if you are willing. Thanks Adriene!!
I am 81 with a bad back and COPD. I think I will continue with this. Thanks.
Very hard to find good chair yoga tubes. I love Adriennes but keep doing it over and over. Would love it if she did more🙏
I finished Adriene's 30 day "Center" yoga series the day before my total knee replacement, and I've been missing my daily workouts so much! It was great to get back to a Yoga with Adriene again, albeit a little differently. I'm so grateful for the videos - thank you Adriene.
Thank you Adrienne for making it so easy to get back into yoga. I'm 58, and I'm always on the lookout for ways to strengthen my body without causing injury. I found out I can regain mobility I thought was lost. Please do more chair yoga. - Ge
I broke my ankle last week and have really been missing practice so am so glad to have found this! Couldn't do all the foot flexing and had to adapt the warrior 2 on one side but overall found this a great routine.. well done all ❤
I told my grandaughter today I was looking forward to today's chair yoga for seniors cos that's how I was feeling. Her reply was "but why Manmar, you're not old?" LOVE THAT KID 🥰🤣 Honestly, I was actually surprised to find I found this much more difficult than doing it on the mat. Anyone else?
It was hard doing warrior 2 with that chair in the way.
@@sarakennelty4914 wasn't it? 😄
I’m a college student and my dorm space is pretty small without room for my yoga mat so I figure I’d give this a try and mannnn it feels so good to get a good stretch! Thank you 🙏🏽
Thank you so much for this wonderful Chair Yoga practice, Adriene. I have been practicing yoga for 20+ years and during the pandemic, I encouraged my mother to stretch and move while we were all in lockdown. With this in mind, I created a Zoom call with my then, 85-yr-old mother, where we'd practice with you through this video every week. A year later, my Aunties in Hawai'i learned about our practice and have been joining us every week for over a year to stretch and breathe together! Thank you for creating such a lovely, gentle, and inspirational practice for Seniors. Much gratitude and mahalo from California!
These yoga exercises are great!! I am almost 70 years old and overweight. This is my 3rd week doing them and I feel so much flexible and energized!! Thank you so much!! Will see you everyday!!
Jumping ahead in the calendar because I'll be short on time these next days. This was really interesting and even challenged my core a bit (especially when we had to lift our leg in front) :)
Practicing today as a part of RENEW 2021. I was doubtful I would get much out of chair yoga but gave it a try. As usual, Adriene kicked my butt, even in a chair. I guess a little really does go a long way... After the practice I was inspired to freestyle, which I have never done before. It was exciting -truly the definition of find what feels good. I feel like I’m getting there. ☺️ Namaste everyone and have a fabulous day!
Hello Monica, how are you doing?
i know this is an older video but i hope you or anyone else behind the channel read these comments still: THANK YOU! im a struggling student with chronic health problems and chair yoga helps me stay active even when I'm not feeling well 🥰
Adriene, I woke up with sore knees and found this short practice that was just what I needed! Thank you!!❤️
I'm healing from a surgery and facing another this week. Can't do too much, but the chair yoga is really great. Thank you!
What if you can't cross your foot onto your other knee? I saw this and thought of my mom and grandma and not going to lie I am so going to do this. I truly hope you make more of these for seniors. A full series would be amazing.
It's fine to omit the leg cross, just continue with the previous squeezing-the-knee move.
You can cross ankles or use blocks on the floor
I switched this for Energize Day 8, it's been 56 days in a row. I'm still experiencing pretty bad pains in my outer left hip and as I called the doctor today to schedule an appointment, they advised me to give that hip a break, so I tuned in to this chair yoga, because my upper body was still craving that movement. I want to keep my journey going tho and since I know which movement and poses trigger the pain, I'm capable of skipping or switching them out and this practice gave me a great idea how to deal with my warriors by the simple support of a chair. Thank you sooo much!
Wow, what a humbling experience this practice was! Thank you, Adriene 🙏
