15 minute Chair Practice
Yoga for Older Adults
•
16m
Do this practice anywhere! These stretches are helpful and effective if you're unable to get down onto the floor. Gravity is effecting every single one of us, so opening the chest will keep the pectoral muscles from becoming tight, which pulls the shoulders forward, rounding the upper spine. When we keep the upper back and shoulder muscles open, it also affects the way our neck feels. Everything is connected - in order to feel good we must keep the body open. So sit down and stretch out your upper back, neck and shoulders - ESPECIALLY if you sit for extended amounts of time! Recommended props: 1 chair, 1 strap, 1 blanket
