Settlement of Chair Yoga

Mobility is considered to be a “by product” of Yoga practice, but in the case of Chair Yoga, it is often “down played” or taken for fixed. Since most Chair Yoga lovers are seniors, the true value of versatility is mobility.

When you think that mobility for seniors can be the disparity between dependence and independence, overall flexibility is now of tremendous value.

The following is an inspection I have made after working with groups from assisted living complexes, adult day care centers, nursing homes, and seniors centers. The normal mobile senior citizen is much more flexible in the hips, backbone, wrists, and shoulders, than his or her dependent counterpart.

Just crossing the legs can be difficult for the clients I work with in a nursing home. Students in Chair Yoga classes learn a mixture of exercises that will “free up” many of the major joints. Many students also remark how pain, from a multiplicity of ailments, is much more manageable, after practicing Chair Yoga.

Greater than before range of activity makes a difference, when reaching for anything. It also helps to stop injuries that can happen from strain or a possible fall. If a senior falls, there is unquestionably the probable that the results could be life threatening.

Chair Yoga offers a significant number of balancing exercises. While balance can be affected by medication, inner ear problems, and more, many seniors show much development in balancing their bodies within weeks of their first Chair Yoga class. Therefore, flexibility and balance are a significant part of an injury prevention package that can advance, or enhance, the quality of life for seniors. This fact has been realized by seniors who flock to Chair Yoga classes on a daily, or weekly, basis.

Most of us realize that physical fitness is not the only cause involved in dependence. There are a number of disabling diseases that can impinge on any one of us and have nothing to do with lack of mobility. Lack of overall flexibility is not the single overriding aspect occupied in independence for seniors.

However, it is a fact that less mobile, and in poor health, seniors will become confined.
Hence, most seniors should make an shot to stay stretchy, for what is at last their own dignity at stake. You could look at your physical circumstance as an insurance policy for autonomous living. After all, who really wants to inflict on their children or relatives for the sake of continuation?
