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.
