    I love your chair yoga and chair Pilates. I have been working out with you for few months now. Yesterday, when I was giving myself a pedicure, I realized for the first time that my hips did not hurt. Must be that figure 4 leg stretch we do! I'm 77 years old and find myself laughing when I'm walking down the street, telling myself "shoulders down and back". Thank you!

    This Is exactly what I was looking for. A chair yoga that covers the entire body in a relaxing but good stretch kind of way. Many other sites rely too heavy on arms. these movements are basically the floor exercises my Dr recommened for lower back and hip pain. I cant get down on the floor good so these are perfect. So happy I found this and have shared it. Thank YOU

    I’m 72 years young. Do my treadmill almost everyday but I was getting bored and too stiff so I decided to try yoga. I’m just loving it and love you. Your voice is beautiful. Every other day I do the treadmill & yoga. Treadmill 1/2 hr but yoga 1 hour.
    I feel less imbalanced walking and reach further. Thank you Lauren.
