Energy Medicine Yoga® Wake Up: A Gentle Chair Yoga Practice
Updated: 5 days ago
How you begin your day can shape how you feel as you move into it.
You don't always need an intense workout, deep stretching or a practice that asks you to push yourself. Sometimes your body needs something much simpler: a little movement, some conscious breathing and an opportunity to reconnect with yourself.
This gentle chair yoga practice blends Lauren Walker's Energy Medicine Yoga® Wake Up with Donna Eden's Daily Energy Routine, adapted into a chair based practice so you can gently awaken your body and energy system without needing to get down onto the floor.
There is no pushing, no deep stretching and no powering through. The intention is simply to meet your body where it is and offer your energy system some gentle support as you begin your day.
A Gentle Chair Yoga Practice for Every Body
This practice may be supportive if you:
Have limited mobility
Live with chronic illness or low energy
Find getting down onto the floor difficult
Prefer a gentler way to begin your day
Want to reconnect with your body before getting on with everything else
Don't want your morning practice to feel like something you have to push through
You don't need to keep up, stretch hard or make your practice look like anyone else's. Listen to your body and let the practice adapt to you.
Practice With Me
If lifting your foot to place your ankle over your knee isn't comfortable or accessible, this second vide below is a modified version which allows you to participate fully without needing that additional hip or knee mobility.
Both practices follow the same gentle approach. Choose the version that works best for your body today.
Listen to your body. Modify anything. Skip anything. This is your practice.
