For yoga students and teachers: Learning how to use a chair - especially for modifications if and when necessary - is invaluable for physical and mental stability and mobility.
These poses are great for workday movement, seniors, travel, fatigue, and anyone who might need assistance because of issues due to balance or physiological injuries / conditions.
