Today, we have five chair yoga poses you should do everyday!

After sharing this post earlier in the summer about Barre for bad knees, many readers showed an interest in some chair yoga information my mom had.

You will love this post today!

Let’s get started.

5 Chair Yoga Poses You Should Do Everyday

Five Chair Yoga Poses You Should Do Everyday With Chemistry Cachet

My mom has been teaching chair yoga for almost 10 years, and has taken yoga for even longer. She specializes in safe senior fitness, and has unique knowledge for people to move safely. However, these chair moves are great for ANYONE at any age!

Regular yoga can be difficult for me with bad knees and rheumatoid arthritis, but I can do anything in a chair.

If you work all day at a computer, then you can even do these chair yoga moves during a quick break. Motion is so important for everyone, so having these tips can help you everyday.

You can even do these at home throughout the day to keep your movement going. These chair yoga poses are a great starting point for people, and you can expand on these too.

Join us on instagram for more fun tips and videos like this!

1. Star Pose

The first pose to start with is star pose. Gently lean to one side with hands out wide like a star. With the leg opposite to the side you are leaning on, lift off the ground. Only lift as much as you can and still maintain stability. Hold 10 counts on each side. After you finish the last side, you will flow into warrior pose.

2. Warrior Pose

I think we all know warrior pose from yoga. Doing it on the chair is a great option, and also perfect if you work in a office chair all day! The goal of warrior pose in the chair is to safely get into position while maintaining balance. Try to stretch your opposite leg straight like my mom shows in the picture, but if you can’t get into a straight leg, you can bend it. Whatever you can do is great! Hold each side for 10 counts and flow into extended angle on your last side.

3. Extended Angle

Extended angle is a good way to stretch your side and inner thighs. Hold each side for 10 counts.

4. Side Crunch

Adding in a little bit of core work to your chair yoga poses each day is a good way to get some mobility in. I like this side crunch series because you can do this anytime or anywhere. To do this move, cross your elbow to the opposite knee. The other hand will stay on your side. Do 10 counts on each side before switching. Get more of a core workout by really pulling in your abs as you cross over. Sit up really straight in between each crunch for posture work too.

 

5. Pigeon, Cat, Cow Combination

This last pose is my favorite one. I have so much upper back pain AND hip tightness. This combination works both areas, and I prefer it to regular cat cow! To get into this position, gently cross your ankle over your opposite knee. Then, draw your arms into cat as shown in first picture above. Hold for a few breathes, then pull arms back into cow. Hold for a first breathes and repeat. Do ten of these before switching legs.

How Often Can You Do These Chair Yoga Poses?

You can do them everyday, even a few times per day! Like I mentioned above, I work at the computer a lot, so stopping every 30 minutes to an hour and getting some movement in really helps stiffness for me. You can do any of these or do the entire series.

This is also a great starting point for anyone who might not move around much or hasn’t exercised in a while!

Thanks to my mom, Sheryl, for sharing this with us today!

      I am not sure what browser you have but most do have a print option. I just go to file, print. You can also press CTRL + P at it will bring up a print option for your computer. I prefer to use these digitally, so I keep them on my phone or tablet while I do an exercise. They have a lot of color, so it might be quit a bit to print.

    Alexis, please thank your Mom big time. I’ve recently been told I have a possible meniscus tear and am hoping these simple yoga poses will help overall. If you’ve never done Laser therapy it is amazing. I live in Bend, OR and I see a wonderful woman who has help me greatly.
    Your little one is as beautiful as you are. She has such a sweet face. Love that you include her in your newsletter.
    All the very very best to you and your family. You are so generous in allowing us knowledge from your chemistry experience.
    With Appreciation —– Barbara

      Oh no to the meniscus tear, I had a terrible bucket handle tear of the meniscus and I hope yours does not get like that! These yoga poses are so gentle and great for bad knees! I sure hope they help you too. I have not done Laser therapy, but need to look into that! Thank you for your kind words, Merry Christmas!
