Surya Namaskar - Chair Yoga
The Benefits of Chair Yoga
Increased Flexibility. The ability to bend, twist, stretch, and move freely is important for more than doing yoga. The Rule is use it or lose it......By gently challenging your body with chair yoga, you can actually increase your flexibility and improve your mobility.
Improved Proprioception. (Proprioception is kinaesthesia, is the sense of self-movement and body position. It is sometimes described as the "sixth sense".The central nervous system integrates proprioception and other sensory systems, such as vision and the vestibular system, to create an overall representation of body position, movement, and acceleration) Yoga can be great to shift smoothly form one pose to another.
Improved Strength. Using your muscles to complete yoga poses builds strength, tones and can assist in weight loss. It can also improve your body's ability to withstand injury.
Reduced Pain. Researchers have repeatedly demonstrated that one of the perks of exercise is reduced pain. That’s because working out prompts the body to release natural painkillers like endorphins. I myself am I true testament to this and one of the reasons I tool up yoga and delved into it deeper was due to a severe hamstring injury. The pain was at the time unbearable, I could not walk nedalone do exercise and being a fitness instructor this was horrible. I said NO to cortisone injection and pills that the western medical world wanted to offer me and started to do yoga. 3 months later, I was moving, back into instructing classes as a personal trainer and fitness instructor and minimal pain. Participating in chair yoga allows you to capitalize on this natural form of pain relief.
Reduced Stress. Mindfulness is an inherent part of yoga. Focusing on your movement, your breathing, and how your body is reacting to the exercise creates a kind of moving meditation that promotes relaxation, reduces stress, and improves mental clarity.
Better Sleep. Maintaining a regular exercise routine is often associated with better sleep, and chair yoga is no exception. The exertion of this exercise can help ensure that you are ready to rest, and the accompanying reductions in stress and pain can reduce the chance that these disruptive discomforts will interfere with your ability to get a good night’s sleep.
