Have a seat and learn more about Chair Pose.

Chair Pose being a full body pose is working and strengthening your entire body. It also stimulates your heart, diaphragm, abdominal organs and helps to improve digestion. As well, the stance strengthens your arms, feet ankles, calves, knees, thighs, butt, back, and spine.

To me, just the simple act of leaning back into a Chair Pose is the perfect picture of faith because it asks me to trust in the chair that I cannot see. As I sit back, it invites me to delight in the mystery of faith and the immense beauty of things unseen. I then realize yoga can be far more profound than simply striking a pose.

2 Corinthians 4:18 …” For what is seen is temporary, what is unseen is eternal.”

 

Quick tips to make this chair fit your needs:

Sit back more to challenge yourself and hold this pose for 1-3 minutes or longer to intensify the pose.

If this pose feels too vigorous, lean back and bend your knees only slightly and place your hands on your thighs or hips.You can also inhale as you lean back quickly and exhale coming up quickly for10 counts. This will build leg strength and you will still gain physical stamina from the pose. You can also use a wall for support in front of you or a chair behind you if needed.
