Fun with Chair Sun Salutations

Friday, February 10, 2012 Live from 7 - 8:00 p.m. EST (Recorded so that you can have access for a full two weeks after) Chair Yoga can be fun and challenging. Chair Yoga offers an alternative to mat yoga that can be just as challenging.  Let's face  it,  not everyone  feels  comfortable sitting  on  the floor.  That alone can make yoga inaccessible.  However, many postures that are done sitting on the floor can also be done sitting in a chair with better alignment, less pain and discomfort.  Chair Yoga also uses chairs for standing.  Using a chair for standing poses offers increased stability and often results in better alignment for students who have joint and muscle stiffness. In this workshop we'll explore Chair Yoga Sun Salutations,seated and standing.  Seated Sun Salutations are energizing and accessible. Using a chair for standing Sun Salutations is great for students who want an alternative to getting onto the floor. You can do these outside while walking or hiking, at the office for a quick pick-me-up, or anytime that getting onto the floor is not an option.  Join us! You’ll be glad you did. Learning objectives: How to do sun salutations in a chair and with a chair. How to coordinate breath with movement. How to combine both seated and standing versions in the same yoga class.  Great for teachers and students who want to adapt poses in a traditional yoga class. The start of a New Year always holds great promise. This new beginning is a chance to commit to what's important - health, wellness, family, and having a balanced life.  You can reinforce that intention by taking action, by doing the things that have a positive impact on your commitment. Join me at the Virtual World Yoga Conference, "Yoga, Meditation and the Philosopher's Stone," a 5-day event held on February 7-11, 2012. It's an easy way to build momentum for your intention. Along with my session "Fun with Chair Sun Salutations," you'll learn from some incredible teachers, including Amy Weintraub, David Berceli, Cherie Sohnen-Moe, Nischala Joy Devi and Dr. Glenn Wollman - just to name a few. There will be more than 75 workshops that will explore:  The Healing Path of Yoga, Meditation, and Breath The Art of Letting Go with Effortless Freedom How to Relax Your Mind & Body Into Tranquility Eating Organically on a Budget Plus Many Topics for Wellness Professionals And much, much more...
