why chair yoga?
These practices can be adapted to any time frame to quickly reduce stress and increase focus. Depending on how much time you have in your schedule, you can choose to share 3, 5, or 10 minute chair yoga mindful practices.
Think of mindful practices as a more focused cousin of yoga on the mat. As brain breaks, chair yoga mindful practices have a proven track record of improving cognitive function by boosting oxygen flow in the brain, improving learning retention, and supporting overall neurohealth.
Who has time to clear a space, roll out yoga mats for you and your teens, and then get mindful in the middle of an already packed day? Maybe a lucky few, but the rest of us are working with limited time and space constraints 🙂 That’s why we’ve taken all the benefits of yoga & mindfulness and translated them to the chair. Simply clear your desks, push your chairs back, and take a brain break with chair yoga mindful practices.
