'Chair Yoga for a Vital Life' is a DVD I created with the encouragement of my students. They wanted to do Chair Yoga more often than the once a week class. As there are few chair yoga DVD's in existence, it became my labor of love.

Chair Yoga is simply, practicing the many elements of yoga, warm-ups, postures, breathing techniques, relaxation and meditation while seated and also while standing behind a chair. This is wonderfully supportive for those with limited flexibility, hip replacements, knee issues and balancing challenges. These issues tend to keep people from exploring yoga in the more traditional yoga mat class. But why miss out on the countless benefits of yoga? My students express improvements in their blood pressure, back pain and overall well-being. They are more connected to their bodies and carry themselves differently in their everyday activities.

So many people are sitting at their computers for hours a day. Take a 2-minute break from time to time and do a segment from the DVD. A simple seated twist or a seated forward bend with one leg extended can release the spine, sacrum and hamstrings. Re-energize your brain and your body with Ujjayi breathing. These are the tools that can change your life. Chair Yoga is simple and practical! 'Chair Yoga for a Vital Life' was filmed at beautiful Opus 40 in Saugerties, N.Y. A breathtaking rock sculpture created by the hands of one man, Harvey Fite over the course of 37 years. Check out their web-site link- www.Opus40.org.
