Learn Chair Yoga – BMW of Elmhurst Dealer

Join certified yoga instructor Ann Rinderer on Friday, June 4, from 11:30 a.m. to 12:20 p.m. for Chair Yoga. This virtual Zoom event presented by the Elmhurst Public Library is designed for seniors and anyone who wants to learn this fitness method. Chair yoga uses a series of simple movements that allows you to stretch and strengthen your entire body while sitting comfortably in a chair. Best of all, there’s no previous yoga experience necessary. All of us at BMW of Elmhurst are thankful for the wonderful activity series the Elmhurst Public Library provides our community. We hope you get a chance to try this low-impact form of exercise.

Chair yoga was initially created as a modified version of hatha yoga, designed for seniors and those with health issues. It uses many of the same yoga postures as hatha yoga, including twists, forward bends, hip stretches and mild backbends, which have been modified to be used while seated in a chair. Chair yoga is perfect for anyone who works at a desk all day who is looking to increase circulation. It can even be used when traveling on long flights. Chair yoga improves flexibility, relieves muscle cramps and stiffness, promotes better sleep, and improves your sense of well-being.

Chair yoga is an excellent exercise for anyone suffering from conditions such as chronic pain, osteoporosis, carpal tunnel syndrome or multiple sclerosis. It’s also beneficial for older people who may find it difficult to perform some of the motions associated with traditional yoga postures. Chair yoga is an excellent way for seniors to integrate exercise into their daily routine.
