Yogi BloggerYoga on a chair? Of course! There are many good reasons to practice on a yoga chair. For example, practicing yoga exercises on a chair is a wonderful alternative if physical limitations prevent you from practicing standing or in flowing movements temporarily or long-term.
Many exercises from classical yoga and its many styles can be adapted so that they can also be performed on a chair. In addition, therapeutic exercises can also be performed on a yoga chair as part of rehabilitation measures.
There are now entire series of exercises that have been specially developed for performing on a chair and are aimed at all yogis and yoginis in general, also as a supplement to asana practice without a chair. You can find such exercise sequences in the book “Yoga on the Chair” and on the DVD of the same name.
Another possible use for the yoga chair is meditation, because the chair promotes an upright and straight sitting posture that can be maintained for a longer period of time.
The yoga chair impresses with its ergonomic shape
To fully enjoy the positive effects of a yoga practice, you should choose an ergonomically designed chair that supports an upright sitting posture and is also comfortable.
In addition, a yoga chair must be stable so that it does not wobble due to the movements of the practitioner (e.g. when leaning to the side or stretching forward). Our chair is therefore designed to have a perfect shape and reliable stability.
The yoga chair allows for space-saving storage and easy transport
Our yoga chair is easy to store and transport because it is foldable and doesn't weigh much. It doesn't take up much space and is easy to take with you - very practical for events without seating, such as Kirtan events.
The yoga chair as a seat for meditation
Sitting posture plays an important role in meditation. It is recommended to have a posture that keeps the spine upright, but is also comfortable enough to be maintained for a while without feeling tired.
The yoga chair has proven to be very useful for this! Many meditators prefer sitting on a chair to the classic cross-legged position, which is uncomfortable or unrealistic for many, and choose the yoga chair as a seat.
Alternatively, you can also find meditation cushions in a variety of designs and shapes, as well as futons and wooden benches or stools for meditation.
The yoga chair is worth it!
The yoga chair is a versatile tool that is suitable for both an adapted asana practice tailored to specific needs and for meditation.
It enables all those who are temporarily or long-term unable to practice yoga in the usual sense to enjoy many important benefits of yoga.
In this way, it helps to make yoga accessible to everyone - a great thing! In addition, the chair can also be a welcome and interesting extension of the practice for all other yogis and yoginis.
Who is a yoga chair suitable for?
People who cannot practice the full range of motion have the opportunity to perform yoga exercises adapted to their needs on the yoga chair.
What should you look for in a yoga chair?
A high-quality yoga chair should be very stable and ergonomically shaped.
Can you meditate on a yoga chair?
Of course, a yoga chair is also a good place to sit for meditation. Meditation does not necessarily require a cross-legged or even lotus position - a comfortable position with an upright spine is easiest for many people on a chair, especially on an ergonomically shaped chair.
