Chair Yoga Works online with Zoe

You develop methods to use your body and sit well throughout the day. As a matter of fact Yoga therapy is not just something we do on the floor on a mat.  A regular Chair Yoga Works (online)! class with Zoe increases awareness on many levels.  For the most part whether sitting, walking or lying. Often when we sit down we slump back into the chair. Likewise if we are plugged into a screen we can be sitting still and concentrating for hours at a time with poor posture. Coupled with not even realising the strain we put our body through, we stand up with a deep groan.

It is so beneficial to sit well

Lets just think for a moment, about how beneficial it is to learn to sit well.  Otherwise a particular body part is stretched while another is compressed, taking all the weight, and we sit lopsided. Equally important muscles weaken over time on one side and tighten on the other. This pulls our joints out of alignment and we are suffering and our performance decreases and mind fogs over.  On the whole this is seen through aches and pains, digestive problems, stiff neck or frozen shoulders.

Reduce aches and pains learn to sit well

Pain and injury travels throughout the body into other parts and creates more serious conditions like a slip disc – ouch. Really Yoga and Buddhist teachings speak about the benefits of knowing about cause and effect. The sooner we understand this the sooner we can make changes to our daily habits. A yoga teacher once said "we are only as young as, how fast we walk up the stairs".  Our lunchtime Chair Yoga Works online with Zoe practice is perfect for office yoga by the computer because you learn to keep your body upright. This in turn will relieve stress on your joints and you will look 10 years younger. It truly is amazing the effects of good posture.

Posture is so important

Poor posture doesn't just stop there. For instance whether we are watching TV, eating dinner or at the desk. As a result our internal organs and digestive system suffers with a dulling of the mind. As a Hi Tech Yogi, I have spent all my working life in front of a computer screen and I know how to keep well. I am excited to share the Yoga for over 40's online classes with you. The old saying posture is important is true!

Hi-tech yogi teachers how to sit well

As a Hi-tech yogi and founder of Computer Coach Australia, my work has been split between Yoga and technology for over 30 years.  I am so grateful to have had these two professions which gives me skills to manage my body and mind when absorbed with the technology. Research states as soon as our fingers touch the keyboard our breathing shallows. Likewise our minds take over and the focus on the task ahead makes us lose sense of what is around us. For this reason resentment can arise when being disturbed.

Pain is our body is the way our body speaks to us to let us, to let us know something we are doing is not OK. Ergonomics are very important not only when using technology. Often we can sit for hours at a time to eat, being entertained, or driving and at work. The mind is stimulated the body is still and we wonder why we cant sleep at night.
