These poses are so easy to follow that you are guaranteed to succeed, even if you have never exercised before.
What will you discover in this book?
• Easy-to-follow instructions for posesthat only require a chair & 15 minutes of your time;
• Step-by-step instructions for poses that help towards building strength, flexibility and vitality – even if you can’t get down to a yoga mat;
• A variety of poses that can be performed from the comfort of your own home, no matter your age, ability or limitations;
What does science say?
1. Studies by the Harvard Medical School show that weekly yoga classes often help with chronic back pain more than the standard treatment.
2. According to The Academy of Medical Royal Colleges, exercise improves ‘wear and tear’ conditions such as osteoarthritis by an impressive 22-83%!
3. Yoga has been proven to improve bone density even in older adults – it is better to start late than never.
The author introduced his mother to yoga when she was in her fifties–29 years ago. Like anyone her age, she has aches and pains that come with age, but she lives with no physical restrictions and enjoys a full life at the age of 79.
She had a fall recently, fracturing her kneecap, but she thankfully bounced back fairly quickly, putting her quick recovery down to her regular chair yoga practice. The incredible benefits that yoga has brought her are evident; therefore, the author is confident about the benefits it can bring to the lives of others, too.

From the Publisher
What is Chair Yoga?
Seated Pigeon Pose or Figure Four Stretch
This is one of my favourite floor poses when I’m not carrying a knee injury—it’s really great for releasing tension in the hips and lower back when you’ve been seated for too long.
Bit trickier on the chair, and I’d leave it out if you have knee or hip problems, but if you’re anything like me and find yourself in the office chair for long stretches of time for another mind numbing meeting, work this one into your day.
Seated Warrior 1
The warrior pose is synonymous with yoga, and just because you’re seated doesn’t mean you have to forgo it. Here’s Warrior 1.
Get nice and tall on your seat.
This time, turn your whole body to the right, so the right knee remains over the right ankle, and slowly extend your left leg back over the chair as far as you feel able, left thigh resting on the back edge of the chair, toes on the ground. Don’t worry if you need to keep the back leg bent. Just keep your pelvis upright.
Now move your hands to your hips or if you are feeling stable, fold them at your chest or raise them above your head.
Want to push it with a little twist? Turn your body using the back of the chair—but as always, know your limitations.
Five deep breaths here, then repeat on the other side.
Seated Eagle Pose
Sitting up in your mountain pose, move your feet together.
Gently cross the right ankle over the left, or if you’re feeling really flexible, cross the right leg over the left thigh.
Now stretch your arms in front of you at shoulder height, before crossing your left arm over the right, lifting the elbows up and clasping the hands together.
Stay here for five breaths, before repeating with the left ankle over the right, right arm over the left.
