Chair Yoga is a way of practicing more "traditional" yoga poses with the support of a chair, which can make yoga available for people who prefer to not use the floor. Appropriate for people who are working at a desk or a computer and wish to take a "yoga break," to refresh and renew their energy. Sometimes, a simple forward bend or a twist done in the chair is just the thing for renewing one’s energy!
