#covid19#Lockdown#staysafestayhealthy# Chair yoga for seniors second day






T
Specially for those who cannot do yoga in standing pose.
After getting into chair yoga breathing then proceed for some exercises. The upper body exercises are beneficial for shoulders, hands, ribs, chest, back and even hips. Improves flexibility. Flexibility is not the thing to go away with age if you are mindful in practice. 
Benefits 
Relieves the stiffness in the shoulders.
Stretches the chest and back.
Strengthens the ribs, hands, elbows and hips.
Sit tall in the chair. Normal breathing. Place your fingers on your shoulders, stretch your elbows sideways. Feel the stretch. Bring the elbows forward to touch them together as far as possible. 
Don’t overstrain. Listen to your body and proceed. 
Bring the elbows down close to your body. Feel the stretch.
Take them up with your outer palms closing the ears. Feel the stretch.
Each time the stretches are on different parts like chest, back, shoulders, fingers and wrists.
Do it for a few times. 
Visualise the effects and experience the flexibility. It will take time. Yoga is slow and steady. Don’t leave hope. Go along slowly to achieve the goal. 
In the video you can see the rotation. Rotate your shoulders slowly. Place the fingers on your shoulders with elbows pointing outward. Rotate forward three times and backward three times. Slowly the movement the maximum will be the result. Maintain a consistent practice to stay flexible through all the years.
