Once you begin to think of chair yoga poses in terms of directional movement of the spine, it becomes much easier to both structure your yoga practices and make pose selections. All you have to do is choose couple of poses in each category from the list below and then arrange them according to this template. Once the basic structure is in place you can add layers of movement variations, breathing patterns, and focus points and voilà – your practice is ready!

All chair yoga poses below are included in Sequence Wiz database and can be used to design your unique yoga practices.
