Yoga therapist Linda Lang offers an introduction to accessible yoga practices designed for individuals who prefer or require seated and chair-based movement. Grounded in classical yoga principles and informed by an integrative medicine perspective, Lang demonstrates how yoga postures, breathing techniques, and mindful movement can be adapted to accommodate physical changes while maintaining therapeutic benefit.
Participants explore essential seated poses, supported standing practices, and everyday movement strategies that support balance, joint health, and functional mobility. Instruction emphasizes safe alignment, thoughtful use of chairs and props, and effective modifications for common concerns such as knee discomfort, balance challenges, and difficulty transitioning to and from the floor. Relevant research and foundational yoga philosophy are woven throughout the session.
The session is inclusive and experiential, welcoming both observation and participation, and includes time for questions and discussion.
