Yoga Yoga Yoga Styles Beginners Poses & Workouts From Ann Pizer, your Guide to Yoga One of the coolest trends in yoga these days is towards adaptive practices, which allow yoga to enter the lives of a more diverse community. Chair yoga, which is particularly popular with senior citizens, is one of those practices. I'm very excited to bring you a new sequence of chair poses, which are also perfect for sneaking in a little yoga at your desk when the boss isn't looking. What is Chair Yoga? Chair yoga is a general term for practices that modify yoga poses so that they can be done while seated in a chair. These modifications make yoga accessible to people who cannot stand or lack the mobility to move easily from standing to seated to supine positions.

I'm a big fan of this pose for the way that it gets into your hip flexors. Two alignment points to remember: Bring the front thigh as close to parallel and possible and keep the back leg as straight as possible. Both will help give you a nice, deep stretch.
