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.

Yoga Stretches at Your Desk
This series of poses is designed to release the tension in the neck and shoulders that comes from working at a desk all day. Taking a break to do these stretches a few times a day will improve your posture and help prevent repetitive stress injuries

Pose of the Week - Lunge
Blink during your sun salutation, and you might miss this week's featured pose, the lunge. 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.
