I have been doing your whole body video on RUclips every day since January 2024. I've been doing it on our smart TV and haven't been able til now to give you a thumbs up or subscribe. I'm 86 and growing stronger. Returning to NYC on Amtrak I was able to use the stairs and escalators at Penn Station. I have a left hip replacement and a bone on bone right hip, so I baby them, but I do every other pose on the video. Thank you Michelle.
way to go!
I am 74 years old and in my 7th week of COVID-19 lockdown. I try to do this routine 5-6 times a week. It helps keep me calm and thinking positively. Thank you, Michelle! I am very glad I found you.
Update: more than a year into the pandemic, I was still doing this routine several times a week and walking 2+ miles several times a week. Then, one morning my ankle rolled and I fell breaking my left ankle, right hip and right wrist. The physical therapy exercises I was given were direct from your program: ankle circles, flex and point, knee lifts, and leg lifts. Of course, these exercises were very easy for me. I have recovered in record time and I credit these exercises with that. Keep up the good work.
I will be doing this daily. I will be 70 in September (hard to believe) and this is the absolutely, positively the best chair yoga I have ever seen. Thank you so much for putting this video together.
MegaCrochetlady Thanks for the compliment!

So nice to find a chair yoga video for seniors that is gentle and doeable, yet challenging. So many others are too slow and simple, and offer little in the way of a whole body format. Thank you for making this available!
I'm in my 80th year and must say Michelle's yoga is best ever. Helps me greatly with many health issues. Thank you Michelle.
I was looking for a video for yoga beginners. I am so happy I stumbled onto this program. I am 64 with a very stiff right hip. I lift weights, train on cardio, and eat healthy food. But this body/mind stretching has been far too long ignored by me. I have done the full video about five or six times in the past 8 days and have already begun to feel a wellness within. Maybe I'm crazy, but it seems that way. I endeavor to follow this video often. Thanks for posting, Michelle. You are very good at keeping us engaged and our spines aligned!
Dear Michelle, Thank you so much for these videos for seniors. I had given up on yoga because everything I found was way too challenging. My physical abilities are very compromised and yet I can do almost all of what you are teaching with the variations you suggest. I've been doing the hips and knees for 4 days and am inspired because I'm already noticing some difference in my ability to do the exercises. Thank you. Susan
Thank you so much for this lovely video! I'm 66 and will be doing this regularly every 2nd day.
I love this video. I do the first half before I leave for work, and do the last half at the end of my evening. Michelle not only makes you feel like she's talking right to you, but seems to know exactly when I forget to breath. lol Prior to doing this daily, I had been seriously considering surgery, but now my mobility and strength has improved so much that I believe I may be able to put that on the backburner and achieve remarkable goals!
Thank you again, Michelle.
I'm still doing this, 5 years now! Thanks, Michelle. I still have great mobility because of you!
So grateful for this. It's quite a workout, so I don't do it every day! My feet have been getting swollen from sitting so much. This is a life saver.
iam 60 nearing. I left yoga for the past 10 years for official compulsions. Now this vedio, is refreshing to start again-- very nice
I have found this Series for the Whole Body So helpful! One evening my mom and I have found this and haven't stopped stretching to it since: I my muscles get very fatigued- so I just take a short break then get back to it. I have found there are some days I perform the moves to Michelle's speed- then other days I go my own speed....Thank you Michelle for this wonderful Video...
Thank you Michelle! I do this lesson every morning. Please make more videos! You are a great yoga teacher!
I am 79. I have been doing those exercises (most of them) more or less regularly for the last few months. You’re the best!
A week ago I was already a fan of Michelle Rubin's compassionate and expert approach to yoga for seniors, but now after experiencing this wonderful youtube video for several more times, I take three really deep breaths all through my body and say, "wow!!!" Michelle's approach has amazing potential to increase self-compassionate flexibility and externally radiating caring of mind-body-breath/whole spirit if done, as Michelle teaches, only to the extent poses and moves "are available to you," working gently at your own pace, taking breathing/rest breaks as needed. Michelle's gentle humor and natural, authentic demeanor and words are a tonic: great joy! Her phrasing is adorable, and friendly.
You can only get the full impact of how especially good a teacher Michelle is if you watch and listen (while working at your own pace) to the entire youtube of over 50 minutes. And it only gets better with repeat viewings because there's depth as well as surface here.
Tonight, after two weeks (on alternating days) of doing at-my-own-pace workouts with this, the concluding poses after 50 minutes evoked deep gratitude at an experiential whole-being state of experience. This work seems to be pulling together into greater refinement many layers of learning (and teaching) over many years of spiritual growth and conscious evolution. In areas where I teach, I'd have been a better teacher, in turn, if I'd honored this type of practice consistently throughout the years. But as the saying goes, "it takes what it takes."
Take this on, if you want opportunity over time for a great experience with chair yoga for seniors and the whole body!
I love it, I am 62 and need to sit sometimes for yoga,
this one has it all for joints that need maintanance every day.
Thank You for putting this together, A wonderful contribution. Carol
I used to practice Yoga in the late 80's & early 90's and stopped, I'm now a Senior I get stiff often, but thanks for your great video, I'm now getting back into the swing of things with my poses, keep up the great work.
Thank you so very much. I have had a fused spine twenty years ago. chronic daily pain. I would not take pain killers and so I really suffered. As the years passed I became worse and worse as my solar plexus was compromised and my breathing. Once i made my mind up that I could heal and began speaking the positive - I 'can' heal - all kinds of things came into my life, including this video. I am so grateful. I will do this regularly. It was truly wonderful and just what I needed.
I love this exercise routine! I've been doing it for 5 years now. I first did it 3 times a week for 4 years, then I started working part time so I now do it every day. I also ride a recumbent bike 10 miles a day, and do therapy in floor for 30 minutes at night. I am 70 years old and this allows me to do all the things I've always been able to do even though I'm this age. I hope I can always do these things to keep active.
I am 71 years old. Have been doing this yoga off and on for several years now. Have done other exercises but keep coming back to this one - it is my basic, my favorite exercise.
Also is it any accident that Michelle reminds me of the Madonna?
Thank you!
Beautiful. 5 star. Instruction. Variation. Simplicity. Setting. Reminders to breathe excellent. AND a very good work out. I found my tight spot and weaker spot and side. It really couldn't have been better. Today, I could not go 1/2 way on my left hip flexor that I could on my dominant right side. All of michelles talk, is relevant and welcome. Michelle is one great yoga instructor. I will do this workout again for sure. Felt great.
Wow, awefully challenging for seniors, I'd say, but great for middle age ! I like it !
I teach yoga for seniors and found this to be an excellent class! Thank you for sharing, it’s given me some new ideas for those in my classes that practice from chairs but also for those who don’t.
This series of chair yoga poses has become my daily routine, as I have achieved significant improvement in my mobility due to the relative ease with which I am able to practice the poses. Michelle's straight forward, thorough approach is ideal for me, and she stresses the importance of listening to your body and freely adjusting the poses accordingly. Great video!
It" s the best and the most effective chair yoga sets in the World! I do it with my 11year old granddaughter and she says that sh never feels herself more toned, stretched and beautiful after completing it! Million thanks, Tatiana, Russia and the best to all the followers of this remarkable trainer!
Then yes, this video can help you. It's surprisingly challenging, though, so take breaks when you need to, particularly the first time you do it.
We plan on filming a few more chair yoga classes soon, which you will be able to find on our site, doyogawithme(dot)com.
This is beautiful, just started doing this Yoga and find it really great. Going on to 66 in a couple of months, I wish to do this every two days and the next day, another more tedious movements on the floor. Thank you
Perfect for me today, thank you! I have been working online and am forever at the keyboard. Need a lot of shoulder and wrist work!
I just want to say I've been doing Michelle's Yoga for 3 years or more, once in a while I get complacent and not do them for a week then on again, however sometimes I can't keep up with her but go at my own pace, I'm now 69 yo, and feel great most of the time, I can say this - I don't have aches and pains and sagging skin especially under my arms.
However, I must say this is an excellent teaching: the teacher has a great voice (yes, this is important!) , she is focused and knows her yoga! She is always remembering to breathe . I have slowed down the practice as I am 60 and it works excellent!
I've practiced yoga for at least 10 years and was looking for something suitable to suggest for my older friends. I tried this and loved it. I'm adding it to my own rotation. Thanks so much.
Thank you Michelle Rubin
Yes I love it. She does go fast at times, but always repeats to rest when needed and do your own pace. Thank you Michelle
Best yoga ever! I’m a huge Michelle fan! She’s the best!
Thank you Michelle for your easy routine Yoga , i do have Osteoporosis and i find this movements very helpful and not painful at all , so my new year resolution , follow you exercise daily :)
I’m 60 and broke my shoulder in 2 places 2 years back. I wanted to find a practice that was challenging yet doable and I am so glad I found yours! At first i doubted i could do it, those shoulder circles were new to me. But i slowed down and stuck with it and wow am I glad!! I got a great workout that also leaves me room to grow!! Love your teaching style and constant reminders!!! Thank you very much!!
I have been doing these exercises for about 6 months now in two halves, the first 30 minutes in the morning and the next 22 minutes in the evening. I have started noticing improvements. After 4 weeks I was sleeping better. I had not slept well for about 1 year due to a dull pain in the legs. After about 8 weeks, one day I noticed that I was walking normally. Previously I had some pain in my legs and could only walk slowly. I would highly recommend these exercises.
shoulders rotation exercises are not only good for shoulders joint health but also for lungs and heart. though i am doing shoulders exercises, but i will love to incorporate some of these exercises in my daily routine. i am 77 years old and recommend these exercises for seniors health.
Thank you Michelle - every morning before heading to the bathroom I sit on the side of my bed, lift my legs at least 12 x on each side, then arms, and breath - this helps me to steady myself before standing up. I've been doing your chair yoga exercises for several years now, even now that we're quarantined I make it a point to do your chair exercises at least 2 to 3 times a week. I'll be 70 in June and feel great aside for the CV19 distressing news! We all have to keep it in Prayer that these Pharmaceutical Scientists or whoever will come up with a cure for this dreadful Virus! May You All Stay Healthy and Safe and Blessed!
Ms. Jae Yes, also strengthen your immune system and stay out of fear. We will survive this. Bright blessings to you and yours.
a can not do standing yoga--this has liberated me and I thank you very much
The best gentle yoga whole body class I've done. It has changed my life. Much gratitude to 'Do Yoga With Me' for creating series for those of us who are not millennials with pretzel bodies. Thanks also to Michele Rubin for her fabulous presentation.
Thank you, Lady! I found your video's 7/2018. I just turned 60, this series has helped me tremendously!
Glad it's working for you! Namaste.
Huge gratitude to Michelle Rubin for her excellent, caring, expert yoga youtube presentations for seniors. I love this! Thanks to Michelle for expressing that we can do it slower than she goes (and there are repetitions for each component part) or, if we ever get that proficient, faster's okay, too! By having the entire presentation on a laptop outside my ambit of movement and doing what I could --- more each time --- by the third time I'd gotten much better at following the routine. I'm 63 and although I had a little experience with yoga in the past (more practice with Hsing-I Chuan and jogging), a few years ago I had a bone-shattering injury that required surgery and titanium, and afterward exercise was harder, plus a weight gain. Intermittent fasting and careful nutrition has been slowly taking the weight off, plus outdoor walks, and now I'm adding Michelle's chair yoga to Hsing-I exercises (one of which, the "turning exercise, done standing) reminds me of some of these yoga moves. The good stuff about breath and body have interconnections that way, and I'm grateful to find this yoga which is already helping my neck and spine (affected by the surgery previously, something allopathic physical therapy and follow-up breath-related metaphysics hadn't fully resolved).
I do this 3 times a week and love the way it keeps me moving. I am almost 67 yrs old.
Best of all, everything is free!
I desperately needed a video I could stay with. This is it. I'm three weeks in and feeling so much better. Thank you.
Cant say enough good things about this video, did as much for my frozen shoulder as any physical therapy . pay attention to the breathing... a must for anyone with frozen shoulders or who puts in time at a keyboard.
This is really helpful.I've used this video a few times with memory care residents, and some have been able to follow along fairly well.I've been told that "its too hard for them" but I'm going to keep using it.I'm over 60 and I felt good after doing it.
That's great, Kristina!
Thank You Michelle. This video seems to be created for me. Love it. It's been 1 year after my operation (5 bypasses) and it's time for me to start get moving.
Did this last fall. Then we moved my mother to assisted living and I just quit. Nearly fell last night, so I've started back today. Love this workout so much. Thank you for posting.
three months prior to April 2016 I took up "The Whole body with Michelle Rubin" In April I underwent my quadruple heart by pass. I would like to think the exercises gave me some assistance in getting through the experience. Then I suffered a small stroke in July, and then a Gall bladder removal in March this year (Not having a good time am I) However have just returned to the exercises and health wise I am pretty good. So Michelle............................THANKS
It's the best practice in the world not only for seniors, but for everybody who is weakened by the sickness, the flu and even for children after too much dancing or running. The set has an amazing effect, it opens up the herat cakra, stretches the whole body and you feel like after full yoga floor practice! Great trainer, great set and wonderful results! many thanks from Russia! Tatiana
im only in my 50's but I have a lot of old injuries and am not flexible. its nice to find a yoga video that is doable for even someone with my lack of flexibility but also enjoyable. my father introduced me to this class but im really glad I found it.
I am getting ready to teach people who are mostly older and while the facility does not have chairs I found a lot of the movements new and what I believe will be beneficial to help them in their practice. Thank you.
this class is surely the best one among this kind of classes. You feel so toned up, it's incredible! so many thanks! Tatiana, Russia
Thank you, I have had problems with my mid back all my life. It is feeling much stronger now
Thank you for the full length chair yoga class. I've been recovering from severe knee issues and have been looking for online classes just like this one to take. Thank you!!!
Great! Feel so much better after doing it. I didn't feel like doing a regular routine as I felt sluggish wanting to veg out. This got me in a better mood and now can watch my favorite Sunday night show in a better mood. Thanks.
I love your class! Thank you!❤
Thank you for this. I have lots of knee pain, and this has really given me hope and encouragement.
It's 5/2018 and your still what's happening! My hip replacement has limited my movement. This is challenging, without pain, thank you!
Glad this is working for you! You bring the hip, we'll bring the happening. Hip and happening! 😛
Thanks it great. This the 1 st time I do them. And there fantastic.
I am 62 and the timing is perfect for me .I love the breathing reminders,its the best Thanks Michelle.
Wonderful video for the days I don't have the strength to do harder poses. I do this one quite often . Thank you for this fine practice. Really makes one feel great. Your wonderful personality helps keep me cheerful throughout the day.
Thank you Michelle for all your wondeful work.I thought you left! I took your class in SF for nine months. Bless you I am in Fla now.
Thank you for this video, I have always excercised and eaten well, then one day the end of puberty came and I went from "8.5 to -0". I just sat here watching the NFL game and did these moves with you. The hardest ones were the shoulders guess that is where I need the most help. I could go on ... but will not-thank you I am a fan.
I have had left shoulder pain for 3 years and nothing helped - cortisone shots or physical therapy - but doing this has cut my pain by at least 50%! Also really helps my stiff neck and my back. So glad I found your video. I have tried a few others also, but you seem to be the only one so far who emphasizes the breathing and body position which I apply to lighter videos I use on Zumba days.
Good for people like me, 65+.
I thought i was reasonably flexible.
I have some areas to work on. Enjoy & get stronger & more flexible.
Thanks Michelle!
I have been doing this yoga video for about 5 years off and on. I am 65 years old and wish this video had been around when I was 35. So, it's really for every age. I modify the pace and breathing to work for me. It has kept my joints more flexible and it is enjoyable and relaxing. Give it a try. Take your time and it will keep your joints flexible for life!
Thank you Michelle!
I am 74 and have been going to the gym 3 times a week for the last 20 years. Due to Covid we’ve been unable to get to the gym for almost 3 months. I’m so thankful for your video. I tried it for the first time today and it is wonderful. Thank you!
Thanks for this video! There are so many great exercises in this wonderful complete chair yoga practice.

Thank you for sharing! It's going to be my daily workout.
Hi Michelle;
Thanks for this video for us 'seniors'. I find I can do most of the poses without too much effort and I am feeling a bit stronger each visit with you. Thank You so much...
thank you! Your explanation is fantastic!
I am 70. I found Michelle exercises that helped me to rehabitate the sore shoulders. Thanks you.
Thank you so much for this yoga video.
just perfect.... thank you!
Thank you....
thank you for this video!
Thank you. This is amazing!!
Thank you , I get no pain from doing this workout!!!!
This video is great for those without any limits or injuries, and are in good condition to begin with. It will be difficult for senior, seniors. I think it would be helpful to have another person (older) going slower, so people can build speed if and when they are able.
check out the video we just posted for seniors!
Marnie Giese Just do it at your own speed, just use her as a general guide. As you improve sometimes you can push it for a minute or so, then go back to your speed. No problem, make the practice your own. Bright blessings.
I love this video. You are really amazing.
Excellent teaching .. Thank you ..🙏🙏
I am happy that I saw your video. I am able to do most of the actions with you, so the speed is ok. I like this, a work out for most of the joints
That was awesome. Thanks for sharing.
This is great and you don't even have to be a senior, this can be for everyone!
wow!!! i think I'm blushing :) thanks for making my day .
Thank you. I am 74, and this video has made a big difference in my movement.
Glad to hear it Sue!
I like this work out a lot. I have an issue with my knees so I'm trying to find a gentle workout if that makes sense. The exercises in the video warm me up very well. Sometimes I do the first 30 min to warm up and do something else more challenging if I feel like it. I go back and forth between doing the whole hour or just half. She gives very clear instructions, reminds you constantly to breathe, gives you alternative exercises in case you can't do the one she's showing you well. Very good workout. I'm having my mom do it too.
Thank you so much, and it is excellent!
I think you are probably the best Michelle
Thankyouverymuch. These are great Yoga Excercises. I do Yoga in a class, but it seems there they do almost every time the same. I am happyto have found yours for a good change,
Thanks again for making this wonderful yoga practice available.
thanks I always learn a lot from you and your practice
Another rave fan note. I have been using your video steadily on-line since after cancer surgery in 2009, after back surgery and hip surgery three years ago and in-between and still use it in addition to walking and CORE floor stuff. I am 83, on a fixed income, but enjoying life more than ever. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I'm not a senior yet, (53) but I do need this type of Yoga as I have arthritis and need a knee replacement, Fibromyalgia, COPD, and Face Disc Syndrome. May as well be a senior. This is great!!!! Thank you
Thank you.. amazing..
