    I am 54, but my doctor recommended this chair yoga with Adrienne due to my numerous illnesses and sedentary lifestyle. This shouldn't be called for seniors maybe newbies or easy yoga. This is great in many ways!!!! Thank you.

      Go have your ears checked! I was getting momentarily dizzy when changing to lying down or getting up, and it turned out to be something to do with my inner ear crystals being out of place. The audiologist did a test to see how I did with some physical changes and I was "positive", so she and a helper put me through a series of movements (easy, not painful or challenging) designed to get the crystals back into place. It worked! In minutes, I walked out and haven't been dizzy since!

    Practicing today as a part of RENEW 2021. I was doubtful I would get much out of chair yoga but gave it a try. As usual, Adriene kicked my butt, even in a chair. I guess a little really does go a long way... After the practice I was inspired to freestyle, which I have never done before. It was exciting -truly the definition of find what feels good. I feel like I’m getting there. ☺️ Namaste everyone and have a fabulous day!

My back does not hurt for the rest of the day. I am very out of shape and need to loose about 100 lbs so this great for me to start. ( I also have arthritis in my knee and need to wear a brace but you know all is good) Thank you so much for doing this and helping us out.

    I tried 2 of your other practices, the one for beginners, but found it too difficult. I have artificial knees and it's just too much. I didn't want to give up because my heart says "try yoga, try yoga". I finished this one just now, I'm proud of myself that I did it. I will do it again and again because I want to be "well". I'm overweight and 59 years old, this video will get me started. Thank you so much for having this available. God bless.

    Hi Adriene, I’m a 47 year old morbidly obese disabled woman, suffering with osteoarthritis and other ailments. I used to be exceptionally fit so it’s very difficult to accept that I am in this state. I’ve had several ops on my lower limbs, ankles and knees after an injury walking and running a few years back. Ive tried in vain to partake in physio sessions on line etc but never felt any benefit. My daughter does Yoga with you each day and due to the lockdown I’ve heard your voice talking in the background. I found it so easy to listen to and so sincere. My daughter suggested I check out your sessions to see if any suitable. I have just done two of them !!! I’m doing the chair ones and hope to build up to doing the more complex ones. I feel amazing. Not felt this energised in years. I’m overwhelmed. Thank you so much. You don’t know how much you’ve helped me. Xxxx

    Having broken both my arms in an accident a few months ago and still trying to get them healed and stronger I haven’t been doing my usual yoga with Adriene every day 😕 I missed it!!
    Decided that I could do search for seated yoga and found this. It’s a slow start and a bit frustrating if you’re used to the more challenging stuff but it goes on to proper hip opening and lots of proper breathing - which I needed so bad. Encouraging me to not give up on yoga just because I can’t do as I used to be able to! 😁

Now my hypertension is going out of control and having for aches and pains and stiffness. Aside from medications, salt restriction,etc... she also recommended simple yoga exercises. I found this simple beginner's yoga chair exercises so helpful. And Your instructions with your soothing voice is so motivating and inspiring. Thank you.

This may have been called chair yoga, yoga for the elderly….but at 37 years old, this was as soothing and enjoyable as any of the other wonderful sessions. If anything, I had a straighter back and stronger in warrior pose in a chair than ‘normally’. Awesome. Thank you.

    I have to admit at first I was thinking "Why should I do yoga for seniors? I am no senior!" but when I did it, it was marvelous. What a wonderful practice. I could totally see me doing it with my grandma or mother, but alas, the former is no longer on this earth and the latter I had to cut ties with. It's a bummer and quite upsetting tbh. I hope there will be more accessible practices like this in the future either way so that older and or physically limited yogis can participate :) (Of course you can always modify the other practices, but I thought it was nice that this is the other way round!)

I'm now encouraging my grandaughter to practice daily, as if there is one piece of advice I could give anyone it would be to start early enough to already have that strength and flexibility as well as mindset before you get to an age where you need it. I don't believe in regret but if I did this would be my only one 💞

    I have to mention how this video helped me. I used to cycle 100 or more miles a week (indoors and outdoors). Suddenly I was hit with what doctors called a back problem. I was unable to bike or even walk without pain. This went on for almost three years. During that time I discovered your videos. I would do this one almost every day until finely my condition worsened to the point I was barely walking. Two hip replacements later I’m back doing this workout. I credit your videos with keeping me from losing it during the bad times. I’m working to get back on the bike. I still use this video for a cool down. Thanks for producing your videos. I’m sure they have helped many people.

    Hey! I am a Yoga teacher and Ayurvedic Practitioner and I know how important Yoga is for everyone- but it seems to complicated for many Seniors that have never done Yoga before, so they want to write it off. My Senior Citizen Dad, is having some heart issues right now and I know that beginning to connect with his breathe, with his body, stretch, relax, calm, ground, enjoy... he will begin to bring balance to his life. I am not able to be with my Dad now- but I am grateful I can send him this video, that is very similar to how I would want to give my Dad a class... with a lot of positivity and love. You are just a beautiful woman, and I love your energy. Thank-you for this minute gift- the time, and the postures are perfect to just feel a little lighter, yet grounded.
