- Book Synopsis
- Designed and taught by Lakshmi Voelker, the LV Chair Yoga (TM) method upends the myth that yoga is only for the flexible, strong, balanced, thin, and conventionally able-bodied. This book highlights 40 active and restorative poses, including individual and partner poses, breathing techniques, and meditation practices, all adapted so that students never have to leave their chairs. For every pose, Voelker offers at least three different ways of experiencing it, depending on an individual's level of flexibility, and suggests ways to incorporate breath work and chanting. Voelker includes healthy lifestyle practices and teaching tips, along with yoga philosophy "lessons" throughout. Examples include: Tree Pose - For a flexible spine and to combat the "slump" we often get in our sedentary lifestyle Eagle Pose - For healthy joints Squat Pose - To relax the lower back Knee-to-Chest Pose - To support good digestion Coherent breathing - To bring the body's systems into balance And much more Voelker offers a powerful, inclusive practice that is appropriate for new students or long-time practitioners and can easily be adopted by yoga instructors, educators, medical professionals, exercise professionals, or caretakers for work with their clients.
