Chair Yoga
Chair Yoga: Great for every physical ability, is slow steady movements used to help restore the body after surgery, build lean muscle and heal the body. Every movement can be modified for each issue your body is dealing with.
Chair yoga, also known as seated yoga, offers many health benefits, including:
