Focus

In this class, discover the versatility and support a yoga chair brings to your practice. Each pose in the sequence utilises the chair to explore different effects across the main asana groups, enhancing accessibility and deepening engagement. Begin with poses like Adho Mukha Virasana and Svanasana, where the chair encourages a more profound shoulder opening. As you move into twists, such as Parivrtta Trikonasana and Parsvakonasana, the chair offers leverage to safely extend the spine and increase rotation. Experience chest and upper back expansion in backbends like Urdhva Dhanurasana, and find sustainable energy in supported Sarvangasana variations. Introductory pranayama benefits from the chair’s guidance in maintaining spinal lift and chest openness, and finally, chair Savasana provides a grounding release for the lower back. This class highlights how the chair can enhance each pose, bringing new dimensions to your practice.
