WELCOME TO MY YOGA WEBSITE. I hope to make people understand that anyone can practice yoga. It can be done from a chair. You don't have to be able to make your body into a pretzel. You don't have to be model thin. You don't have to make a lot of time for it. All you have to do is become aware of your breath, slow down from your daily life and your practice begins. Namaste.

Chair Yoga Or Not
Did you know that yoga can be done sitting in a chair? This is a wonderful thing for people who are stuck behind a desk all day or are unable to find their way down to the floor for mat yoga. The benefits of this ancient practice are the same whether you are sitting, standing or lying down. You can gain strength, you can get a wonderful stretch, you can gain flexibility and these are just the physical aspects of the practice. The mental benefits are amazing as well. Yoga can teach you focus and mindfulness. It can help with concentration and it also teaches us to quiet the constant chatter of the mind. For seniors, yoga can assist with some of the stresses of aging and can help us to grow older with grace and gratitude. Yoga is for EVERYONE!!! :)
