Chair Yoga, it might not be what you are thinking. In today’s world of back breaking computer work, cross town commuting, texting, lifting, sitting...there are a lot of people who benefit from chair yoga. Stop for a second right now and check your posture. I’m willing to bet that your spine is curved, your belly is soft and your neck is pronating forward. If I’m right, you too could benefit from chair yoga.
