There are many reasons to practice yoga exercises on a yoga chair. Among other things, practicing on a chair is suitable for people with physical limitations that make standing practice or even a dynamic Vinyasa practice difficult, and of course also as part of therapeutic yoga, for example during a rehabilitation phase. However, there are now also entire series of exercises that have been specially designed to be performed on a chair and that are generally aimed at all practitioners, including as a supplement to asana practice without a chair. Many exercises from classical yoga and its numerous styles can be modified so that they can also be performed on a chair. You can find special practice books and web tutorials for this, among other things. In addition, the yoga chair can of course also be used for a comfortable and upright sitting position during meditation .

Your yoga chair is perfectly shaped

Everyone knows this: not all chairs are created equal! In order to fully enjoy the benefits of yoga practice, a yoga chair should of course be ergonomically shaped, which enables or encourages an upright sitting position and is also comfortable. A yoga chair should also be very stable so that it does not wobble due to the movements of the practitioner (for example, when they lean to the side or stretch forward). Our yoga chair guarantees reliable stability and a well-thought-out shape.

Easy to store and transport: other advantages of the yoga chair

Because our yoga chair is foldable , it can be easily stored to save space, but it can also be transported without any problems. It is lightweight and easy to store when traveling or taking to the studio. Our tip: It is also a good idea to take it to events such as Kirtan events without seating.

The yoga chair as a meditation chair

In meditation it comes always also depends on the sitting position, because it plays a major role in whether you are able to focus on introspection over a longer period of time. If you have adopted an unfavorable sitting position, your body will usually soon start to make itself known with pulling, pinching and tingling limbs, or your back will start to hurt. That is why it is advisable to use an aid for meditation practice that allows you to sit comfortably with your spine upright . The yoga chair has proven to be very useful for this! Many meditators prefer sitting on a chair to the classic cross-legged position, which is uncomfortable or unrealistic for many, and opt for the yoga chair as a seat. Alternatively, you can also find meditation cushions in a variety of designs and shapes, as well as futons and wooden benches or stools for meditation.

Conclusion

It enables all those who are temporarily or permanently unable to practice "conventional" asana practice to enjoy many of the important benefits of yoga and can also be a welcome and interesting extension of the practice for all other yogis and yoginis.
