Gentle Yoga

Gentle yoga a less-intense style of hatha yoga practice. It is performed at a slower pace, with less intense positions, and usually includes extended time for meditation, yogic breath work, and relaxation. A gentle class includes warm up movements and the yoga postures are often held for longer times. Modifications are done to help people of all fitness levels enjoy the benefits of yoga. There is a stronger emphasis on stretching seated poses and low-impact movements in these classes.

Gentle yoga can be practiced by just about anyone, regardless of age or physical condition. It is especially great for people with injuries, pain, mobility or health issues. A gentle yoga practice is a great choice for anyone who is afraid they are not flexible or fit enough to do the yoga poses.

Chair Yoga

Chair yoga includes the same elements of traditional yoga, including physical poses, meditation, and breathing techniques. But the chair-based practice modifies standard yoga poses so that you can do them while sitting in a chair. Or you can use a chair to keep you steady while performing standing postures. Most yoga poses –– such as twists, backbends, and forward folds –– can be adapted for chair yoga. Modified chair yoga poses work many of the same muscles as traditional yoga postures.
