Benefits of Chair Yoga – Part 2

We‘ve all heard the saying, “Rome wasn’t built inside a day. ” Those phrases are extremely profound, when considering correcting poor posture and alignment. It will take years to make poor alignment.

Therefore, poor posture can‘t be corrected inside a single day. A far more appropriate saying, when considering posture and alignment could be, “The leaning tower of Pisa cannot become straight in every week. ”

However, improvements to posture could be made through Chair Yoga exercises and through daily “posture awareness. ” Inside my classes, I refer to posture awareness as “homework. ” It usually draws a chuckle from students, however they also understand that class time is that the time to find out and practice Chair Yoga together.

Time far from the Yoga class happens when you set the principles you‘ve learned, in motion, and adapt them within your lifestyle. I cannot promise Chair
Yoga is really a “cure all, ” but you‘ll see improvements in each and every aspect ever. However, practicing your homework separates the fantastic success stories from people who see some modest improvement.

So, What‘s posture awareness? This really is disassembling the time for them to concentrate on your posture, on a everyday basis. The very first thing you really want to do in an effort to open your awareness is review your side profile inside a mirror and any photographs of yourself. At this stage, review your spine from top to bottom.

Can you see slumping, forward tilting from the neck, or extra large curves? Your spine ought to be aligned so that it must be fairly straight all of the time. During numerous daily activities for example : Standing, walking, reading, eating, sitting, lying, typing, and much more, you ought to have a conscious effort, to stay your head and body straight.

Now, we will all remember a schoolteacher who preached, “Keep your body straight, ” but now we understand that she or he was absolutely correct. Take time to adjust your spinal alignment, using this moment on, and each time you are able to remember to do this.

If possible, it‘s also wise to attend any workshops about Chiropractic and
Orthopedic medicine. Become knowledgeable about the body, your spine, and also your choices. You are able to usually find these workshops and lots of more valuable meetings at the local senior center. These workshops are often free, you‘re under no obligation, and it also makes for a very good “Fact finding mission. ”

The alignment and posture principles, you learn inside a Chair Yoga class, could be as easy as, “Pain or no pain. ”
